Answer: Andrew = 90 pounds
Explanation:
Assume Andrew weight is X
Since Jackson weight is 3 times Andrew
Then it’s 3x
3x + x = 360
4x = 360
x = 90
Let b>a,
a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b
We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:
b-(40-b)=6.5
b-40+b=6.5
2b-40=6.5
2b=46.5
b=23.25, and since a=40-b
a=40-23.25
a=16.75
So a=16.75 and b=23.25
check...
16.75+23.25=40, 40=40
23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5
So average is of the first 6 tests is 82 well that means
(test1 + test2+ test3+ test4 + test5+test6)/6 = 82
so now let do some cross multiplliying
test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 82*6
test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 492
now lets see if we can find that 7th test score
(test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 + test7)/7 = 80.5
So look we found test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 to be 492 so lets substitute.
(492 + test7 )/7 = 80.5
test7 = (80.5*7)-492 = 71.5
The answer is D. 30 because you multiple 15 times 2
