Answer:

2 science fiction and 5 mystery

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we will set up a system of equations.

x (science fiction) y (mystery)

x + y = 7 This is the total books bought.

7x + 9y = 59 The amount of each set to the total cost.

Now we solve.

(-7)x + y = 7 equals

-7x - 7y = -49

added to

7x + 9y = 59

this equals

2y = 10

y = 5

Now we know one. We can plug it in to find the other value.

x + 5 = 7

x = 2

Find the mean of the data set 31,31,22,28,23?
Lina20 [59]
The mean is 27 
How you do this is you add all the numbers together even the ones that are duplicated like in this case 31. Now add em all up which equals 135. Now you take the number that they equal up to and divide by how many numbers are in the set of data in this case it is 5. After dividing you get 27.
I hope this helps!

Your answers should be B and D

When naming angles, they all need to be connected on the line without overlapping any points previously said. Angle YXZ is incorrect because X is not on the same line as Z. YW is a line because both sides continue on forever, as indicated by the arrows.

Hope this helps!
