Answer:

- 8(y - 2) = 160 \\  - y + 2 = 20 \\  - y = 18 \\ y =  - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because before y there is negative "-" thus youve got to put it before 18. Eventually the answer is -18,not 22

To pass a course with an Upper A ​grade, a student must have an average of 90 or greater. A​ student's grades on three tests are
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The student must get at least 86 in the next text in order to get an upper A average.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scores in the three tests are: 91, 94 and 89

The average score here is \frac{91 + 94 + 89}{3} = 91 (rounded off to nearest whole number)

In order to get an Upper A average after tackling the next test, the students total score in the four tests must be 90 × 4 = 360

Let's say the student scores x in the fourth test.

Then; 91 + 94 + 89 + x ≥ 360

274 + x  ≥ 360

x ≥ 360 - 274

x ≥ 86

Danielle’s chemistry professor has a complicated grading system. Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the e
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

92

Step-by-step explanation:

Lab Scores are 84, 81, and 93

Test Scores are 89 and 94

Each lab counts once and each test counts as two labs. At the end of the semester there is a final lab that counts as three regular labs.

Total Number of Labs= (3X1)+(2X2)+(1X3) =3+4+3 =10

To recieve an A(90), the average of her scores must be 90.

Let her final lab score =b

Refer to the attached diagram

Total Score=624+3b

For her average =90

\frac{624+3b}{10}=90

Cross multiplying

624+3b =90 X 10

624+3b =900

3b =900-624

3b =276

Dividing both sides by 3

b= 92

She must score 92 in her final lab to receive an A.
