Hello,

Let's r the ration

We suppose x ≠0

x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)

x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6

x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2

Ration 3/2
First term: 4

Answer:

88 score.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To get a B in math, Alexandria Pappas must average 80 on five tests.

Scores on the first four tests were 82, 74, 82, and 74.

Question asked:

What is the lowest score that she can get on the last test and still get a B?

Solution:

Let lowest score she can get on the last test = $x$

As we know:

$Average=\frac{Sum\ of \ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}\\ \\ 80=\frac{82+74+82+74+x}{5} \\ \\$

By cross multiplication:-

$80\times5=312+x \\ \\400=312+x\\Subtracting\ both\ sides\ by\ 312\\400-312=312-312+x\\88=x$

Thus, she can get 88 score on the last test to get a B in math.
