Hey there again,
The first step is to put the data in order, as shown in the diagram below
Five summaries of Town A
Lowest Value = 10
Lower Quartile, = 16.5 (The value falls between 16 and 17)
Median, = 25
Upper Quartile, = 40 (The middle value between 38 and 42)
Highest value = 42
Five summaries of Town B
Lowest value = 0
Lower Quartile, = 4 (The middle value between 0 and 8)
Median, = 9
Upper Quartile, = 20 (The middle value between 19 and 21)
Highest Value = 30

The answer be negative 158 or -158
We could solve for 'x' in the 2nd equation and then plug that into the first equation for 'x' and solve for 'y':
Subtract 6y to both sides:
Divide -2 to both sides:
Plug in 3y + 17 for 'x' in the first equation:
Distribute 5:
Combine like terms:
Subtract 85 to both sides:
Divide 17 to both sides:
This is the y-coordinate of the solution.
1 1/7 = 8/7
The lowest common denominator of 8/7 and 1/9 is 63
72/63 : 7/63
72:7
