4x - 2y = 22
Start by adding 2y to both sides to cancel out the -2y
4x = 22 + 2y
Now you can divide by 4
x = 22/4 + 2y/4
Reduce all the fractions to get your answer, which is

Answer: x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 20 = 29
x = 9
9 + 20 = 29
Ryan is correct, the mean is about 8.1.
To find the mean, you have to add up all the values, then divide by the total amount.
For Sample A:
60 x 6 + 90 x 7 + 145 x 8 + 150 x 9 + 55 x 10 = 4050
If you add up all the adults, you have 500.
Dividing 4050 by 500 = 8.1
Sample B will produce a very similar result.
