Answer:

29.3

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question, Abby's average after taking 31 quizzes is 76. After her teacher drops Abby's 3 lowest test scores, her average increases to 81. What is the average of Abby's three lowest test scores?

Let's assume the total score of the 31 quizzes Abby took as x and the average of those scores is 76

To find out the yotla scores we do a cross multiply and we have

X = 76 × 31

X = 2356

And if her 3 lowest scores were removed and she had an average of 81,her total score was 81 × 28 = 2268

Now to find out the average of the lowest score,we subtract both scores and get their average

2356 - 2268 = 88/3

= 29.3

Answer: 29.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Abby's average after taking 31 quizzes is 76.

Total test scores= 31 × 76 = 2356

After Abby's teacher drops her 3 lowest test scores, her average increases to 81. This means that (31-3)= 28 test scores were used.

Total scores = 28 × 81 = 2268

Sum of Abby's three lowest score

= 2356 - 2268

= 88

Average of the three scores will now be 88 divided by 3

= 88/3

= 29.3

The average is 29.3

The Board of Directors of a small company consists of five people. Two of those directors are considered "strong leaders". If th
Pavel [41]
1: 40%
2: 30%
3: 20%

If we know one of the succeeded, then 
1: 44.44%
2: 33.33%
3: 22.22%

If under the circumstance that they all fail to meet a strong leader, the board picks one of them at random,
1: 43.33%
2: 33.33%
3: 23.33%

The first person has a 2 in 5 chance of randomly getting a strong leader. If the first person doesn't find a strong leader, the second person has a 2/4 chance of getting a strong leader. If neither the first nor second person gets a strong leader, the third sales person has a 2/3 chance of getting a strong leader.

1: 2/5=40% Chance
2: (3/5)*(2/4)=30% Chance You have to take the probability the first rep failed to get a strong leader, then multiply by the probability the second rep gets a strong leader.
3: (3/5)*(2/4)*(2/3)=20% You have to take the probability both the other people failed, then multiply by the probability they succeeded.

What is the solution to 8(2x + 3) = 48?
Tom [10]
You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.

I don’t understand can someone please explain how to work this out and what the answer is
joja [24]

When you see an equation with parenthesis around it, you can use this:

Parenthesis

Exponents

Multiplication

Division

Addition

Subtraction

Otherwise known as PEMDAS.

We can see that in the equation, there are parenthesis, so we can open those. We open parenthesis by taking the number right next to the parenthesis (or outside the parenthesis) and we multiply that number by everything inside. So this is what it would look like:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

See how the signs changed? This rule only applies when you multiply something, but here is how I think of it:

+ and + always equals +.

- and - always equals +.

- and + always equals -.

+ and - always equals -.

So that's it! Just to be clear, the answer is:

-2x^2 - 10x + 8

Hope I helped, sorry if I'm wrong!
