Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
You haven't told me what the question is. But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye. It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is
"What score does Andrew need on the next test
in order to raise his average to 72% ?"
The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck. So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one. I hope it's the correct question.
The average score on 4 tests is
(1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .
In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be
(4) x (72%) = 288% .
Out of that total that he needs, he already has
(64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%
on the first three tests.
So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score
(288% - 206%) = 82%
on the fourth one.
Answer:
y = 89 x = 123
Step-by-step explanation:
since they're both in standard form, its easier to do the process of elimination
x - y = 34
-x -y -212
------------------
-2y = -178
y = 89
now plug in y to any one of those two equations
x - y = 34
x - 89 = 34
x = 123
<em>to check:</em>
<em>x</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>
<em>1</em><em>2</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>8</em><em>9</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>
<em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>1</em><em>2</em>
We subsituete
9:6=6:4
treat as fraction
9/6=6/4
9/6=3/3 times 3/2
6/4=2/2 times 3/2
3/2=3/2
this is TRUE
