Answer:
WX = 33
(x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The hash marks tell you WX is a midline, so has the measure of the average of the two bases.
WX = (PQ +SR)/2 = (27 +39)/2 = 66/2
WX = 33
__
The hash marks also tell you ...
PW = WS
y +4x = 18 . . . . . . substitute the given expressions
and also
QX = XR
2y +x = 22 . . . . . substitute the given expressions
__
If you solve the first equation for y, you get ...
y = 18 -4x
Substituting that into the second equation gives ...
2(18-4x) +x = 22
36 -7x = 22 . . . . . . . simplify
14 = 7x . . . . . . . . . . . add 7x-22 to both sides
2 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7
y = 18 -4(2) = 10 . . . find y using the above relation
The values of x and y are 2 and 10, respectively.

My favorite "quick and dirty" way to solve a set of linear equations is using a graphing calculator. It works well for integer solutions.
Answer: lower bound = 9550
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Since the number is rounded to the nearest hundred, the actual value is somewhere between 9550 (which rounds up to 9600) and 9649 (which rounds down to 9600).
The lower bound is: 9550
The upper bound is: 9649
