Let T represent the fifth test score. The average is the sum of scores divided by their number.

... 82 = (83 +75 +93 +67 +T)/5

... 410 = 318 +T . . . . . . . multiply by 5

... 92 = T . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 318

The fifth score was 92.

One of the ways I like to work problems like these is to add the differences from the mean. Those are ...

1, -7, 11, -15

so their sum is -10.

The final score must be 10 above the mean in order for this total to be zero. 10 above the mean is 92.

What is 8+4(-6x+4)=-6-5x

sergeinik [125]

First do 4(-6x+4) distribute the 4 (So multiply each number in parenthesis by 4) so 8-24x+16=-6-5x

Then put like terms on each side

So do inverse of each number and do that to both sides to their like terms

8+16=-6+19x

Then bring the six over and add like terms

30 = 19x

Then divide 19 in each side and you get

X = 10/21

Write (x^2)^4 without any exponents.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

(x * x) * (x * x) * (x * x) * (x * x)

Step-by-step explanation:

(y^4) is the same thing as y * y * y * y

so for y = (x^2), we can write (x^2)^4 as:

(x^2) * (x^2) * (x^2) * (x^2)

and each (x^2) is just x * x
