You would have to do 25/25 to get the answer
C.x=-7.7 and x=-1.3 should be the answer
Answer:
T = 40 (minutes?)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equation G = 50 + 20T, where G = the total amount of gas and T = the amount of Time, we know that there is already 50 gallons of gas in the tank and that the rate at which it is pumped is 20 gallons per minute (I am assuming, though it is not stated in the problem). Given that the tank holds 850 gallons, we can plug in the values into the equation and solve for the missing variable, T:
850 = 50 + 2T
Subtract 50 from both sides: 850 - 50 = 50 + 2T - 50 or 800 = 2T
Divide 2 from both sides: 800/2 = 2T/2
Solve for T: 40 = T
Complete question :
Mr. Nelson lost one of his students' test papers. He knows that the other 4 students scored as follows: 60, 62, 56, 57. He also knows that the average score is 59.2. What is the score on the missing paper?
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Total number of students = 4 + 1 missing = 5
Score on the four avaliable papers = 60, 62, 56, 57
Average score of the 5 papers = 59.2
Score on missing paper :
Sum of each score / number of papers
Sum of each score = sum of available scores + missing score
Let missing score = m
(60 + 62 + 56 + 57 + m) = 235 + m
Recall:
Average = total sum / number of observations
Hence,
59.2 = (235 + m) / 5
59.2 × 5 = 235 + m
296 = 235 + m
m = 296 - 235
m = 61
Missing score = 61
