Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6(x-8)= x- (8)

6x - 48=x - 8

6x- 48 + 48 = x - 8 + 48

6x = x + 40

6x - x = x + 40 - x

5x = 40

5x/5 = 40/5

x = 8

Hope it helps! :)

marta [7]

Answer:

One rose bush = $3

One bunch of ornamental grass = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up a system of equations to solve for this. Let cost of 1 rose bush be r and cost of 1 ornamental grass be g. Thus we can form 2 equations:

$14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71$

We can multiply the first equation by -2 so that we can eliminate g. Thus, we have:

$(*-2)14r+7g=70\\5r+14g=71\\-------\\-28r-14g=-140\\5r+14g=71\\--------\\-23r=-69\\r=\frac{-69}{-23}=3$

Thus, 1 rose bush is $3. Now plugging in r = 3 into the first original equation, we can solve for g:

$14r+7g=70\\14(3)+7g=70\\42+7g=70\\7g=70-42\\7g=28\\g=\frac{28}{7}=4$

Thus, 1 bunch of ornamental grass is $4.

Study the following data set.

Katen [24]

The interquartile range of the data set is 8

<h3>How to solve for the interquartile range</h3>

To do this we have to arrange in ascending order

= 8,9,9,9,10,11,13,15,17,18,22

Q2 = The median of the data is 11.

We have to find the median of the half before 11 and the median of the half after 11.

We would have

8,9,9,9,10

Q1 = 9

And 13,15,17,18,22

Q3 = 17

The interquartile range is

Q3 - Q1

= 17 - 9

= 8

The interquartile range of the data set is 8
