x + y = 12

Equation 2: Difference:

x - y = 4

Solution:

x + y = 12

x - y = 4

-------------

Add the two equations together:

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 8

Solve for y:

Use equation 1 substituting for x:

x + y = 12

8 + y = 12

Subtract 8 from both sides:

y = 4

Answer:

one number is 8 and the other number is 4.

8 + 4 = 12

8 - 4 = 4

He list shows the growth in centimeters of 12 plants during one week. 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 14 Which box plot best
kumpel [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the growth of 12 plants over a week (cm)

To construct a box plot you have to identify the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Quartiles for the box and the maximum and minimum values for the whiskers.

Box

1st Quartile (Q₁)

Is the value of the data set that separates the bottom 25% from the top 75%. First, you need to calculate its position:

PosQ₁= n/4= 12/4= 3

So the first quartile is the third value.

6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 14

Q₁= 7

2nd Quartile/ Median (Q₂/Me)

PosMe= 12/2= 6

The second quartile in the 6th value.

6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 14

Q₂=Me= 8

3rd Quartile (Q₃)

PosQ₃= n*(3/4)= 12*(3/4)= 9

The third quartile is the 9th value.

6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11, 14

Q₃= 10

The left whisker extends from the Q₁ to the minimum value.

The right whisker extends from the Q₃ to the maximum value.

Min= 6

Max= 14

'------|     |      |-------'

6     7    8    10    14

The box plot that best displays a summary of the data, is C.

I hope this helps!

Reika [66]

Answer:

d = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know what d would be when x = -1, so we can start off by plugging in -1 for x to get the following equation: \sqrt{8 - (-1)} = 2(-1)+d. On the left hand side, 2 negatives become a positive sign, so the -(-1) becomes a +1, and 8+1 would equal 9. On the right hand side, we just multiply 2 and -1 to get -2. So, the equation now looks like this: \sqrt{9} = d-2. We know that \sqrt{9} = 3, so we would get 3 = d-2. THen we would add 2 to both sides to get d = 5. Hope this helps!
