Answer:

(3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

When asked to solve by elimination, you put them on top of one another, like you're going to add it.

10x + 7y = 9

-4x - 7y = 9

See that 7y? You can cancel those out because one is negative, and one is positive. So those are gone. You finish adding the rest of the numbers as usual and solve for x.

6x = 18

x = 3

Take x, and plug it into either equation to find y.

10(3) + 7y = 9

7y = -21

y = -3

(3, -3)

Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

$\frac{0.35}{\frac{2}{3}x } =\frac{0.45}{x-10}$

Step 2: Solve for x

Cross-multiply: $0.35(x-10)=\frac{2}{3} x \cdot 0.45$
Distribute 0.35: $0.35x - 3.5=\frac{2}{3} x \cdot 0.45$
Multiply: $0.35x - 3.5=0.3x$
Isolate x term: $-3.5=-0.05x$
Isolate x: $70=x$
Rewrite: $x=70$

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{2}{3}(70) } =\frac{0.45}{70-10}$
Multiply: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{140}{3} } =\frac{0.45}{70-10}$
Subtract: $\frac{0.35}{\frac{140}{3} } =\frac{0.45}{60}$
Evaluate: $0.0075=0.0075$

Answer:

The median is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you put all the numbers in order. (37, 44, 46, 54, 62, 88) then you look for the middle number. Since there is two middle numbers, you add them together then divide it by 2.

So 46+54= 100

100/2= 50
