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

2. The rectangular floor of a garage has an area of 198 square feet. Andy knows that the floor is 7
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

length = 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

L = w+7

Area = l*w

198 = (w+7) (w)

Distribute

198 = w^2 +7w

Subtract 198 from each side

0 = w^2 +7w -198

Factor

What 2 numbers multiply to -198 and add to 7

18* -11 = -198

18+-11 = 7

0=(w+18) (w-11)

Using the zero product property

w+18 =0  w-11=0

w= -18   w=11

We cannot have negative width  so w=11

We want the length

l = w+7

l = 11+7 = 18
