The sum of a student's three score is 246. if the first is 14 points more than the second, and the sum of the first two is 6 mor
e than twice the third, what was the first score?
1 answer:
Let the second score = x
⇒ second score = x
<span>the first is 14 points more than the second
</span>⇒ first score = x + 14
<span>the sum of the first two is 6 more than twice the third
</span>⇒ third score = 1/2 (x + x + 14 - 6) = x + 4
<span>The sum of a student's three score is 246
</span>⇒ x + (x + 14) + (x + 4) = 246
<span>
Solve x:
</span>x + x + 14 + x + 4 = 246
3x + 18 = 246
3x = 228
x = 76
second score = x = 76
first score = x + 14 = 76 + 14 = 90
Answer: 90

8x-13
1. Distribute 6 to both 2x and -3
5+12x-18-4x
2. Combine like terms
8x-13
=theta/360°×2pi ×r
theta=180-60=120°
r=24÷2=12
120/360 × 2 × 22/7 × 12=
1/3 × 2 × 22/7 × 12=
176/7=
25.14
Answer:
the answer is -3
its just opposite to the normal when we check negative numbers.
