If (55 + x)/2 is to be 67, then 55+x = 2*67, so x = 2*67 - 55 = 79
Answer:
James answered 51 questions correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Slide the decimal 2 places to the left in the percentage (85% = .85)
2) Multiply total by new decimal (60 x .85)
3) All done! (51)
Keep in mind that 100% is just 1 whole. Therefor 85% of one whole is .85. In this problem, 60 represents our whole.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.
In this form, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
Slope is rise over run. The formula for this is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to 0.
1. Slope = 8 ; Y-intercept = 0
y = mx + b
m = 8 ; b = 0
y = 8x + 0
y = 8x
2. Slope = 1 ; Y-intercept = 2
y = mx + b
m = 1 ; b = 2
y = 1x + 2
y = x + 2
The answer to #1 is y = 8x.
The answer to #2 is y = x + 2.
Hope this helps!
