Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 250 -eq.1

10x + 8y = 2276 -eq.2

eq.1 × 8

8x + 8y = 2000 -eq.3

eq.2 - eq.3

10x + 8y = 2276

( - ) 8x + 8y = 2000

2x = 276

x = 138

sub x = 138 into eq.1

138 + y = 250

y = 250 - 138

y = 112

x = 138, y = 112

vfiekz [6]
First, you need to find the trend line that you are going to use before you can answer question 9 and 10. 

To do that select 2 points from your list and find the y = mx + b equation. 

After you have your equation, all you need to do is plug in the values that you are given for x. Evaluate the expression and you will have your answer.
