Answer:

<h3>8 and 13</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two numbers be x and y

If the two numbers differs by 5, then;

y-x = 5 ...1

x is the smaller

y is the larger

If seven times the smaller plus four times the larger is 108, this is expressed as;

7x + 4y = 108 ... 2

From 1;

y = 5 + x .... 3

Substitute 3 into 2;

From 2;

7x + 4y = 108

7x + 4(5+x) = 108

7x + 20 + 4x = 108

11x + 20 = 108

11x = 108-20

11x = 88

x = 88/11

x = 8

Since y = 5+x

y = 5 + 8

y = 13

hence the numbers are 8 and 13

What are the steps to find the lower and upper quartiles of a data set? 1. Order the values. 2. Find the median. 3. Find the low
Yuri [45]
The steps to finding the upper and lower quartiles are given in the first choice.

1.  Order the data from least to greatest. If you don't do this, the data is random.

2.  Find the median - you will do this so that you can find the midpoint of the data set (half of of the data is smaller and half of the data is larger).

3.  Find the lower quartile - this is the half of the lower half of numbers; think of it as breaking the lower half of the data into 2 sections. 

4.  Find the upper quartile - this is the half of the greater half of numbers; this will break the upper half of the data into 2 sections.

Bob needs to save at least 10 dollars to buy that book
he gets 2 dollars in allowance every day
he has 3 dollars now
in how many days will he be able to buy the book?

translation
if d=number of days
then
how much has now+how much will earn≥10
3+2d≥10
solve
minus 3 both sides
2d≥7
divide both sides by 2
d≥3.5
but wait, you can't have 3.5 days, round up becuase if round down you wil have less than $10

answer is 4 days

that is an example, just read it and don't just report it
