Answer:

(x, y) = (-4, 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two equations have the same coefficient for y, so you can eliminate y by subtracting one equation from the other. Here the x coefficient is largest for the first equation, so it will work best to subtract the second equation.

(3x +y) -(2x +y) = (3) -(7)

x = -4 . . . . . . . . simplify

Now, we can find y by substituting this value for x.

2(-4) +y = 7

y = 7 +8 = 15 . . . . . add 8 to both sides of the equation

The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 15).

Answer:

they give us a sense of where a score falls in relation to the mean of its population (in terms of standard deviation of its population), 2) they allow us to compare scores from different distributions, and 3) they can be transformed into percentiles.
