This problem deals with a weighted average. Since the AP classes count twice as much as regular classes, their grades must be counted twice. It's as if for each AP class he's taking, he was taking two classes. The points of each AP class grade is added twice, and the each AP class counts as 2 classes in the number of classes.
Each AP class counts twice and counts as 2 classes.
Class Ben's grade Points Number of Classes
AP English B 3 + 3 2
AP Government B 3 + 3 2
AP Algebra II A 4 + 4 2
Spanish B 3 1
Physics D 1 1
TOTALS 24 8
GPA = (total points)/(number of classes) = 24/8 = 3

Answer:
see in pdf the solution is there.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 3 + 4x = 21
6x - 3 = 21
6x - 3 (+3) = 21 (+3)
6x = 24
24/6
x = 4
The correct next step Amy could take is to factor (x^2 - 16) on the left side of the equation to yield (x + 4)(x – 4)(x + 2) = 0.
The equation is given as:

The possible next steps are:
1. Expand the equation as follows

2. Express x^2 -16 as a difference of two squares as follows

However, the correct step in this case is to factor x^2 - 16 as a difference of two squares to give 
This is so, because the question says Amy is trying to solve for variable x.
This step will ensure that she gets the possible values of x, unlike expanding the whole equation .
Hence, the correct next step is
