Let x and y be the numbers;
We have x + 2y = 9 and 2x + y = 21;
Then, x = 9 - 2y;
Finally, 2(9-2y) + y = 21 ;
18 - 4y + y = 21;
18 - 3y = 21;
-3y = 3;
y = - 1;
x = 9 - 2× (-1);
x = 9 + 2 ;
x = 11;

What is the mean of 20,28,22,35,47,90
Basile [38]
So add all the numbers together (20 + 22 + 28 + 35 + 47 + 90) and you'll get 242. Then you take the number and divide it by the numbers in your set (you have 6 numbers so you'll divide by 6) 242/6. The answer would be 40.3333333 (repeating decimal). I hope this helps!
