Answer:

x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

In the first equation, look to solve for y:

{y - 2.5 x = 13.5

12.25 x - y = -12.25

y - 2.5 x = y - (5 x)/2 and 13.5 = 27/2:

y - (5 x)/2 = 27/2

Add (5 x)/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

12.25 x - y = -12.25

Substitute y = 1/2 (5 x + 27) into the second equation:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

1/2 (-5 x - 27) + 12.25 x = -12.25

(-5 x - 27)/2 + 12.25 x = 12.25 x + (-(5 x)/2 - 27/2) = 9.75 x - 27/2:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

9.75 x - 27/2 = -12.25

9.75 x - 27/2 = (39 x)/4 - 27/2 and -12.25 = -49/4:

(39 x)/4 - 27/2 = -49/4

Add 27/2 to both sides:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

(39 x)/4 = 5/4

Multiply both sides by 4/39:

{y = 1/2 (5 x + 27)

x = 5/39

Substitute x = 5/39 into the first equation:

{y = 539/39

x = 5/39

Collect results in alphabetical order:

Answer: {x = 5/39 , y = 539/39

The exact average of a set of six test scores is 92. Five of these scores are 90, 98, 96, 94, and 85. What is the other test sco
nordsb [41]

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

92 = (90 + 98 + 96+ 94 + 85 + x )/6

92*6 = 90 + 98 + 96+ 94 + 85 + x

552 - (90 + 98 + 96+ 94 + 85) = x

x = 89
