To determine the number that should replace the letter [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row, we need to evaluate the total number of seeds when considering both yellow and green seeds.
We are given the following options to replace [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
- 18,066
- 3,011
- 207
- 2,001
Given data:
- Number of yellow seeds = 6,022
- Number of green seeds = [tex]\( x \)[/tex]
We'll analyze each potential total:
1. Total seeds = 18,066
2. Total seeds = 3,011
3. Total seeds = 207
4. Total seeds = 2,001
For each total, calculate the number of green seeds [tex]\( x \)[/tex]:
1. If the total seeds are 18,066:
[tex]\[
x = 18,066 - 6,022 = 12,044
\][/tex]
2. If the total seeds are 3,011:
[tex]\[
x = 3,011 - 6,022 = -3,011
\][/tex]
3. If the total seeds are 207:
[tex]\[
x = 207 - 6,022 = -5,815
\][/tex]
4. If the total seeds are 2,001:
[tex]\[
x = 2,001 - 6,022 = -4,021
\][/tex]
The only logical and non-negative solution is when the total number of seeds is 18,066. Thus, the number that should replace the letter [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the "Seed color" row is:
[tex]\[
\mathbf{12,044}
\][/tex]
