Answer:

Step  1  :

                 2

Simplify   —

                 3

Equation  :

  2                

 (— • (y + 57)) -  178  = 0  

  3                

Equation   :

 2 • (y + 57)    

 ———————————— -  178  = 0  

      3          

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

   Subtracting a whole from a fraction  

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

          178     178 • 3

   178 =  ———  =  ———————

           1         3    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole  

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator

      Adding up the two equivalent fractions  

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 • (y+57) - (178 • 3)     2y - 420

——————————————————————  =  ————————

          3                   3      

 Pull out like factors :

  2y - 420  =   2 • (y - 210)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 2 • (y - 210)

 —————————————  = 0  

       3      

Step  5  :

When a fraction equals zero :

   When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2•(y-210)

 ————————— • 3 = 0 • 3

     3    

Now, on the left hand side, the  3  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2  •  (y-210)  = 0

Equations which are never true :

   2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

    Solve  :    y-210 = 0  

Add  210  to both sides of the equation :  

                     y = 210  

One solution was found :

                  y = 210

in chemistry class Andrew has earned scores of 64 69 and 73 on three tests he must maintain an average of 72
olganol [36]
You haven't told me what the question is.  But I put the mouse
to my forehead, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and I could
see it shimmering in my mind's eye.  It was quite fuzzy, but I think
the question is

                   "What score does Andrew need on the next test
                     in order to raise his average to 72% ?"

The whole experience drew an incredible amount of energy
out of me, and the mouse is a total wreck.  So we'll just go ahead
and answer that one.  I hope it's the correct question.

The average score on 4 tests is

                                     (1/4) (the sum of all the scores) .

In order for Andrew to have a 72% average on 4 tests,
the sum of the 4 scores must be

                                         (4) x (72%)  =  288% .

Out of that total that he needs, he already has 

                            (64% + 69% + 73%) = 206%

on the first three tests.

So in order to average 72% for all 4 tests,
he'll need to score

                             (288%  -  206%)  =   82%

on the fourth one.
