I don’t know how to show how I got it but the answer is X=12.
Answer:
$17.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 7/8 by 20/1, to find 7/8 of $20.00.
7/8 × 20/1 = 140/8
140 ÷ 8 = 17.5
Once you convert to money, this is $17.50.
so we have the points of (0,-7),(7,-14),(-3,-19), let's plug those in the y = ax² + bx + c form, since we have three points, we'll plug each one once, thus a system of three variables, and then we'll solve it by substitution.

well, from the 1st equation, we know what "c" is already, so let's just plug that in the 2nd equation and solve for "b".

well, now let's plug that "b" into our 3rd equation and solve for "a".

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Change into improper fraction

He currently has an test score sum of 206. He needs 280 to pass (the average score, 70, multiplied by four different test scores).
280-206=74.
He needs to get a score of 74 to pass.
