-x - y = 8
2x - y = -1
Ok, we are going to solve this in 2 parts. First we have to solve for one of the variables in one of the equation in terms of the other variable. I like to take the easiest equation first and try to avoid fractions, so let's use the first equation and solve for x.
-x - y = 8 add y to each side
-x = 8 + y divide by -1
x = -8 - y
So now we have a value for x in terms of y that we can use to substitute into the other equation. In the other equation we are going to put -8 - y in place of the x.
2x - y = -1
2(-8 - y) - y = -1 multiply the 2 through the parentheses
-16 - 2y - y = -1 combine like terms
-16 - 3y = -1 add 16 to both sides
-3y = 15 divide each side by -3
y = -5
Now we have a value for y. We need to plug it into either of the original equations then solve for x. I usually choose the most simple equation.
-x - y = 8
-x - (-5) = 8 multiply -1 through the parentheses
-x + 5 = 8 subtract 5 from each side
-x = 3 divide each side by -1
x = -3
So our solution set is
(-3, -5)
That is the point on the grid where the 2 equations are equal, so that is the place where they intersect.
Option C:
The measure of arc CD is 40°.
Solution:
Given data:
m∠X = 11° and m(arc AB) = 18°
To find the measure of arc CD:
We know that,
<em>Angle formed by two intersecting secants outside the circle is equal to half of the difference between the intercepted arcs.</em>


Multiply by 2 on both sides.
22° = arc CD - 18°
Add 18° from both sides.
40° = arc CD
Switch the sides.
arc CD = 40°
Hence the measure of arc CD is 40°.
Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
Mean: 


Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for data
Solving (a): The mean
Mean is calculated as:

From the attached:

So, the mean is:



Solving (b): The median
; this is an even number. So, the median is:




This implies that the median is the average of the 7th and 8th item.
Next, is to order the data (in ascending order): <em>36.45, 38.03, 38.19, 39.17, 39.44, 40.1, 40.2, 40.2, 40.3, 43.1, 43.2, 43.4, 43.4, 43.4.</em>
The 7th and 8th items are: 40.2 and 40.2
The median is:



Solving (c): The mode
43.4 has the highest number of occurrence.
So:

Answer:
4x+8
6x-8

Step-by-step explanation:
a) 4(x + 2)=4x+8
b) 2(3x - 4) =6x-8
c) 4(3 - 6x) 2x + 18-2(2 – 3x)



We’re told that QR and RS are equal, so this is an isosceles triangle.
Meaning the two base angles must also be equal
Using this information, we know that the third angle must be 180 - (22 + 22), since the angles in a triangle add up to 180
