The three scores are 86, 74, and an unknown score x. The average (i.e. the sum divided by how many there are) is 80, so we have

\dfrac{86+74+x}{3}=80

Multiply both sides by 3 and you get

160+x=240

Subtract 160 from both sides to get

x=240-160=80

Note: you could solve this exercise very quickly if you notice that the two numbers, 86 and 74, are symmetrical with respect to 80, which is the average. So, the third number must be the average.

Answer:

x + 3y = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m is the slope = rise / run:

rise = 1

run = 3

the line is downhill so its negative

m = - 1 / 3

b is the y intercept which is when the line cross over the y axis: - 4

y = - 1/3x - 4

multiply both sides by 3

3y = -1x - 12

add x to both sides

x + 3y = -12
