To find the mean, add all the values and then divide the sum by how many values you added. In this case, if the teacher drops the lowest score (68) that would leave 5 values. So,
90 + 83 + 88 + 74 + 80 = 415 < this is the total of all (minus the lowest) or Lorenzo's test scores. Now take this number, and divide it by 5 (because we added five tests together):
415 / 5 = 83 < this is the new mean, and also his percentage grade.
Answer: 83
Alternatively, you can list the grades from least to greatest, and cancel one value from each side until you get to the middle.
26/52 times 26/52
Which is equivalent to 1/2 times 1/2
Which equals 1/4. Or 25%. Or 1:4. However you prefer
Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve for x, we must isolate x on one side of the equation.
x+3x+5=21
First, combine like terms. x and 3x are both terms with variables, and can be combined.
(x+3x) + 5=21
4x + 5=21
5 is being added to 4x. The inverse of addition is subtraction. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation.
4x+5-5= 21-5
4x= 16
x is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4=16/4
x= 16/4
x=4
Let's check our solution. Plug 4 in for x and solve.
x+3x+5=21
4+3(4)+5=21
4+12+5=21
16+5=21
21=21
This solution checks out, so we know our answer is correct.
x is equal to 4, x=4.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
1. a = 18, 2. n = -19, 3. x = -17, 4. v = -6, 5. a = 9, 6. x = -2, 7. k = -4, 8. m = -19
9. n = 3, 10. a = -7, 11. n = -5, 12. n = -6, 13. x = -1/3, 14. m = 2/3 15. m = -9.8
16. n = 7.9, 17. x = 0, 18. b = 2, 19. v = -8, 20. b = -4, 21. n = 3, 22. p = 3.3
The answer is Any Real Number
because 4(x + 1) = 4x + 4 for all value of x
