Five numbers have a mean of 9.4 . Four of the numbers are 3, 5, 10 and 12. Work out the range of the five numbers. ( 4 marks )

9.4 =( 3 + 5 + 10 + 12 + x ) / 5=> 9.4 x 5 = 30 + x=> 47-30 = x=> 17 = x

Solve this simultaneous equations, clearly showing all of your workings: x^2 + 2y =9, y - x = 3

Equation 1: x2 + 2y = 9Equation 2: y - x = 3
Rearrange equation 2: y = 3 + x
Substitute y = 3 + x into equation 1x2 + 2(3 + x) = 9x2 + 6 + 2x = 9x2 + ...
