Answer:
x = -7/9
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual recommendation is to clear fractions first. Here, you can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.
6(-1/2(3x -4) +3x) = 6(5/6)
-9x +12 +18x = 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify
9x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12
x = -7/9 . . . . . .divide by 9

Another way to do this is to eliminate parentheses first.
-3/2x +2 +3x = 5/6
3/2x = -7/6 . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 2
x = (-7/6)(2/3) = -7/9 . . . . multiply by 2/3
Let the second score = x
⇒ second score = x
<span>the first is 14 points more than the second
</span>⇒ first score = x + 14
<span>the sum of the first two is 6 more than twice the third
</span>⇒ third score = 1/2 (x + x + 14 - 6) = x + 4
<span>The sum of a student's three score is 246
</span>⇒ x + (x + 14) + (x + 4) = 246
<span>
Solve x:
</span>x + x + 14 + x + 4 = 246
3x + 18 = 246
3x = 228
x = 76
second score = x = 76
first score = x + 14 = 76 + 14 = 90
Answer: 90
Here, to find the average rate of change, you would simply divide 270 by 63. And when that is done, you would get a long decimal. 4.285714285714286
And since you obviously can't put in such a long decimal as your answer, you would round it instead. Once rounded, you would end up with 4.29 (because the number after 8 is five, which rounds up, which would turn the 8 to 9.)
Answer:
2x + 3y +1
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x + 4x -6y + 9y +3 -2 (arranging)
2x + 3y + 1
