I think the answer is both x and y are positive
You would have to Multiply 50 by 2 and then Multiply the answer to 300.
The mean is 10,724.28.
Explanation:
The mean is all of the values divided by the number of values there are.
So what you have to do is add all of the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there are.
10,150+10,211+10,424+10,769+10,884+11,155+11,477= 75,070.
Since there are 7 numbers, divide 75,070/7 and you get your mean, which is 10,724.28 rounded.
It would be b. If two numbers are negative and your multiplying them, it would be positive!
The equation that expresses the relationship between the number of boxes, b and the number or cans, c would be c = 48b. This is because the number or cans shipped would be the dependent variable to the problem as it is dependent on the number or boxes that ship along with. So if one ships 2 boxes then the number of cans that would be shipped would need to match the final output of cans which is 96, and using the equation, c = 49b it does.
c = 48b
96 = 48(2)
96 = 96.
Technically the first option will also be correct but usually the variable in an algebraic expression comes after the coefficient.
