Answer:

Keisha bought 3 sandwiches and 5 lemonades.

Equations:  x + y = 8       2x + y = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve a problem with two variables, you need to set up a system of equations comparing the two variables and solve using either substitution or elimination.  If 'x' represents the number of sandwiches and 'y' represents the number of lemonades, then x + y = 8 because they bought a total of 8 items.  Also, the cost of each item is given as well as the total amount of money spent.  So, our second equation is: 2x + y = 11.   We can use inverse operations to solve for 'y' in the first equation:  x + y - x = 8 - x which simplifies to: y = 8 - x.  We can then use this expression to substitute in for the variable 'y' in the second equation:  2x + 8 - x = 11.

Combine like terms:  x + 8 = 11

Inverse Operations: x +8 - 8 = 11 - 8

Solve:  x = 3, so Keisha bought 3 sandwiches

Solve for y:  y = 8 - 3 = 5, so Keisha bought 5 lemonades

(a) Brand X median  = 13
      Brand Y median = 16

Median is the center dot in the shaded box (in blue color). Look at the Time (h) axis for their values. For Brand X it is 13 whereas for the Brand Y it is 16

(b) If we compare their median values we can see that the difference is 3 hours (16-13 = 3). It means that the Brand Y battery will last longer compared to Brand X battery as Brand Y lasts for 16 hours whereas Brand X battery lasts for 13 hours.
