Equation=2a+3b=$14
=4a+5b=$24
Multiply the first equation by 4 and the second by 2 to get the value of b....
8a+12b=56 -
8a+10b=48
2b=8
b=$4
If the price of an orange is $4 we can now find the price of an apple by
.................2a+(3*$4)=$14
............2a+12=14........2a=2
a=1
So the cost of an apple is $1 and that of an orange is $4
......Hope it helps you
He was wrong, you cannot make 10 coins by adding 32 coins to 28 coins. If you want to obtain 10 coins from 32 coins and 28 coins, you can subtract 28 coins from 32 coins.
This can be illustrated as follows:
32-28=10
Let width = w then we have the equation:-
w(w + 12) = 448
w^2 + 12w - 448 = 0
(w - 16)(w + 28) = 0
w = 16
Answer: the dimensions of the window are width 16 by height 28 inches

Answer:
<u>Given data:</u>
- 4, 5, 3, 3, 1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 8, 2, 4, 4, 5, 2, 3, 6,2
<u>Put the data in the ascending order:</u>
- 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 8
<u>Mean, the average:</u>
- (1 + 2*5 + 3*4 + 4*4 + 5*2 + 6 + 8)/18 = 3.5
<u>Median, average of middle two numbers:</u>
<u>Mode, the most repeated number:</u>
Mean is normally the best measure of central tendency, same applies to this data.
