Answer:
Did you find the answer???
U just x it to the tingles
When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
9.286
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not guaranteeing this answer. If this is correctly written without any indication of how to deal with x, then here is as much as you can do.
850-53x m= 720-39x m Subtract 720 from both sides.
850 - 720 - 53x = 720 - 720 - 39xm Combine
- 53xm + 130 = - 39xm Add 53x
-53x+53xm + 130 = -39x + 53xm Combine
130 = 14xm Divide by 14
xm = 130/14
xm = 9.28
===============================
You can use the same steps above. I'm abbreviating the steps because they are the same.
I'm sure there is more to the problem, but I can't imagine what it is. If you have additional directions, put it under this answer. I will get it as a comment.
850-53m= 720-39m
850 - 720 - 53m = - 39m
130 - 53m = - 39m
130 = -39m + 53m
130 = 14m
130/14 = m
m =9.286
