65 Bc absolute value of negative is positive
Answer:
x = 3
y = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - y = 26 ---------------(I)
9x + y = 28 ---------------(II)
9x - y = 26
9x = 26 + y
Substitute 9x = 26 + y in equation (II)
26 + y + y = 28 {add like terms}
26 + 2y = 28 {subtract 26 from both sides}
2y = 28 - 26
2y = 2 {divide both sides by 2}
y = 2/2
y = 1
Substitute y =1 in equation (I)
9x - 1 = 26
9x = 26 + 1
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
x = 3
y = 1
<span>a. 17th percentile
First, take the data and sort it in increasing order, getting: 98 101 117 121 122 127 130 137 138 143 145 152.
The score of 117 is greater than 2 of the scores out of a total of 12 scores. So the percentile rank is 2/12 = 0.1666667 = 16.66667, or the 17th percentile. Therefore the answer is "a. 17th percentile"</span>
