The range for the cities in the south is 145 larger than the range for the cities in the north.
We find the range by subtracting the highest and lowest values; in the North, we have:
305 - 58 = 247
In the South, we have:
503 - 111 = 392
The difference in the ranges is 392 - 247 = 145.
Answer:
x + 1
y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this question we need to represent "y "in terms of "x" in the first equation, and the plug in the "y" value in the first equation into the second one. Luckily for us in the first equation it already shows what "y" is equal to in terms of "x" (based on the first equation y = -x + 10). Now we just need to plug in the value that we got instead of "y" in the second equation, and so we get....
y = 7x + 2
(plug in the y value and get the following ….)
-x + 10 = 7x + 2
(now just solve the following equation)
-x + 10 + x = 7x + 2 + x
10 = 8x + 2
10 - 2 = 8x + 2 - 2
8 = 8x
8/8 = 8x/8
1 = x
Now that we know the value of "x", all we need to do now is substitute the value of "x" into any of the equations and we will get the value of "y". So we do the following.....
y = 7x + 2
y = 7(1) + 2
y = 7 + 2
y = 9
