Answer:

  • garden: 8 years
  • tree: 120 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let g represent the age of the garden. Then the age of the tree is 15g. The sum of their ages is ...

  g +15g = 128

  16g = 128 . . . . . collect terms

  g = 128/16 = 8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of g

The garden is 8 years old; the tree is 120 years old.

Identify the value of y<br><br><br> (3y+5)=-4-8y+9+77
noname [10]

Answer:

Y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

(3y+5)= -4 -8y +9 + 77

     -5    -5            

    3y= -9 - 8y + 9 + 77

           +9          -9

    3y=  -8y + 77

    +8y    +8y

      11y = 77

      11y/11    77/11

        y = 7

1. subtract 5 from both sides

2. add -9 and +9 and you get 0

3. add 8y to both sides

4. divide both sides by 11

5. you get y=7

What is the difference between the mean and the median of the data set?
Pepsi [2]
As you probably know there is a difference between mean and median -- the mean acts as a measure of the average, and on the other hand median measures the middle number. The median in this is 15 and the mean is also 15.
