B - 4.2 < -7.5
subtract b and 4.2
less then sign is <
then <-7.5
<span>With 1026 being the mean score on the SAT and StDev of 209, Jessica has a score of 799/209 z-scores above the mean. Her z-score would be 3.823. The mean of the ACT and StDev are 20.8 and 4.8, respectively. A 28 ACT score would be 7.2/4.8 z-scores above the mean, for a z = 1.500. This means that Jessica has the higher z-score.</span>
Answer:
x = 1, -2/7
Step-by-step explanation:
You could use the quadratic equation but this can be factored into
(7x + 2) (x - 1). You can verify that by multiplying it out.
Since (7x + 2) (x - 1) = 0, if either factor is 0 then the equation would be equal to 0, thus we get x = 1, -2/7
To get y you can move the x's to one side, so 120y=500-35x
then you can isolate the y, y= 500/120-35x/120
