Answer:

x = 1, y = -1

or as an ordered pair, (1, -1).

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -3

-8x — 3y = -5

Multiply first equation by -8:

8x - 16y = 24

Add this equation to the second equation:

-19y = 19

y = -1.

Plug y = -1 into the second equation:

-8x - 3(-1) = -5

-8x + 3 = -5

-8x = -8

x = 1.

-8(-x+2y)=-8(-3)

-8x-3y=-5

------------------------

8x-16y=24

-8x-3y=-5

-----------------

-19y=19

y=19/-19

y=-1

-x+2(-1)=-3

-x-2=-3

-x=-3+2

-x=-1

x=1

The mean of the set of numbers that are given in this situation regarding the population will be 1809.33.

<h3>How to solve the mean</h3>

The mean of the numbers will be:

= (1,585 + 1,690 + 1,735 + 1,935 + 2,021 + 1,890) / 6

= 1809.33

= (1735 + 1890) / 2

= 1812.50

Also, from the complete question, the first quartile will be 1690 and the third quartile is 1935.
