5*a+2*b=23
5*a-2*b=7:
a=(23-2b)/5
b=(7+5a)/2:
a=(23-2*(7+5a)/2)/5
5a=23-7-5a
5a+5a=23
a=23/10
b=(7+5*23/10)/2
b=(7+23/2)/2=(37/2)/2=37

Answer: a = 10 and b= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x =5 y = 2

5a + 2b = 23-------(1)

5a - 2b = 7---------(2)

(1) -(2)

4b = 16

b = 16/4

b = 4

also, (1) + (2)

10a =30

a = 30/10

a = 3

A test taker gets 70 on 1st exam, 80 on 2nd exam, 2/3 of 4/5 of his 2nd exam on his 3rd test. If the professor gives 5 points ex
Serga [27]
<h3>Answer:  127</h3>

=================================================

Explanation:

The phrasing "2/3 of 4/5 of his 2nd exam on his 3rd test" is a bit clunky in my opinion. It seems more complicated than it has to be.

The student got 80 on the second exam. 4/5 of this is (4/5)*80 = 0.8*80 = 64. Then we take 2/3 of this to get (2/3)*64 = 42.667 approximately. If we assume only whole number scores are given, then this would round to 43.

Let x be the score on the fourth exam. Since 5 points of extra credit are given, the student actually got x+5 points on this exam.

So we have these scores

  • first exam = 70
  • second exam = 80
  • third exam = 43
  • fourth exam = x+5

Adding up these scores and dividing by 4 will get us the average

(sum of scores)/(number of scores) = average

(70+80+43+x+5)/4 = 80

(x+198)/4 = 80

x+198 = 4*80

x+198 = 320

x = 320 - 198

x = 122

So the student got a score of x+5 = 122+5 = 127 on the fourth exam.
