Answer:

x > 7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute by 8 first

4x - 2 > 12 - 2x

6x - 2 > 12

6x > 14

x > 14/6. or x > 7/3

[PLEASE ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS] The following data points represent the number of quesadillas each person at Toby's Tacos ate. So

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Part 1: Already solved.

Part 2: 1 quesadilla.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: The data points given are 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2, 1, 1, 1, 5/4, 2, and 2.

The data are already sorted from least to greatest.

Part 2: To get the interquartile range, we must know the first and third quartiles. To find those, we need to know the median of the data.

There are 11 data points, so we can cross out 5 numbers on the left and cross out 5 numbers on the right. That leaves a median of 1.

Since we know the median is 1, we can find the first quartile by finding the median of the following numbers: 0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/2 (any number less than 1). There are five numbers, so cross out two numbers from the left and cross out two numbers from the right. We are left with a first quartile of 1/4.

Now that we have the first quartile, we need to find the third quartile. Since the median was actually the first "1" in the data set, the third quartile will be the median of the numbers to the right of that "1": 1, 1, 5/4, 2, 2. Cross out the leftmost two numbers, and cross out the rightmost two numbers. We are left with a third quartile of 5/4.

Now that we have both the third and first quartiles, we can find the interquartile range! The IQR is calculated by finding the third quartile minus the first quartile. 5/4 - 1/4 = 4/4 = 1.

So, your interquartile range is 1 quesadilla.

Hope this helps!

Solve the system of equations<br><br> system

Korolek [52]

Answer:

(3, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - y = 6 → (1)

6x + y = 21 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate y, that is

(6x + 3x) + (y - y) = (21 + 6), that is

9x = 27 (divide both sides by 9 )

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into either (1) or (2) and solve for y

Using (2), then

(6 × 3) + y = 21

18 + y = 21 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

y = 3

Solution is (3, 3 )

konstantin123 [22]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The step shown indicates that y was eliminated from the equations. For choices A, B, D, this is done by adding the equations together (the y-coefficients are opposites). The result of doing that gives x-terms of 4x, 0x, and 0x, respectively. These x-terms do not match the one given: 2x.

For choice C, the y-term is eliminated by subtracting twice the second equation from the first. Doing that gives ...

(4x +2y) -2(x +y) = (14) -2(3)

4x +2y -2x -2y = 14 -6 . . . . eliminate parentheses

2x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (4, -7.5) and (6, -3.5) in slope-intercept form?

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Your answer will be

y=2x-15.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there you must know the slope-intercept form which is

y=mx+b

m=slope

b=y-intercept

You can also use

the slope formula which is

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

in this case

it will look like this

$\frac{-7.5-(-3.5)}{6-4}$ = $\frac{-4}{2}$ =-2

So the slope is -2

Now we will find the y-intercept

-7.5=2(4)+b

-7.5=8+b Subtract 8 both sides

-15.5=b

Your y-intercept is -15.5

Hope this helps
