<span>2t-7-5t=11
Start by combing like terms:
2-5t=-3t
Now we have:
-3t-7=11
Add 7 to both sides
-3t=18
To isolate t we divide both sides by -3
Final answer:
t=-6 </span>
ANSWER

or

We have

Since we cannot factor easily, we complete the square.
Adding 2 to both sides give,

Dividing through by 3 gives

Adding

to both sides gives

The expression on the Left Hand side is a perfect square.




Splitting the plus or minus sign gives

or
Since 120 students gained less than 70, and 70 is the upper quartile, 120 people are in the 75% of all the students so we need to find the total number of students.
we need to multiply 0.75 (75%) by something to get 120. which is 160 (the total number of all students).
and since 48 is the median score, find 50% of 160 which is 80!
hope this helps :)
There are no real numbers that can do that job.
There's a pair of complex numbers that can do it.
They are
4.5 + i23.23
and
4.5 - i23.23 .
' i ' = the imaginary unit = √(-1)
