Answer:
A. -13
Step-by-step explanation:
y - (-5) is the same as y + 5
x - 8 = y + 5; you then subtract 5 from both sides
x - 13 = y
Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
The length of the boxes and whiskers of a box plot tells us more about the spread the data being represented is and as well as the shape of the spread.
Invariably, if the length of the left box and left whiskers is of the same length as the right box and right whiskers, this implies that the distribution of the data point is close to being symmetric, or approximately symmetrical.
To solve this problem you must apply the following proccedure:
1. You have a total of 21 coins, all nickels and dimes. Then:
x:nickels=5 cents
y: dimes=10 cents
x+y=21
2. You have that the total value is $1.70. Then:
5x+10y=170
3. The system of equation is:
x+y=21 (i)
5x+10y=170 (ii)
4. You have:
x+y=21
x=21-y
5(21-y)+10y=170
105-5y+10y=170
y=13 dimes
x+13=21
x=8 nickels
