Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write out equation
d(-3 + x) = kx + 9
Step 2: Distribute <em>d</em>
-3d + dx = kx + 9
Step 3: Subtract 9 on both sides
-3d + dx - 9 = kx
Step 4: Subtract dx on both sides
-3d - 9 = kx - dx
Step 5: Factor out <em>x</em>
-3d - 9 = x(k - d)
Step 6: Divide both sides by k - d

Answer:
84
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the differences of the current scores from average is ...
(84 -85) +(92 -85) +(71-85) +(94 -85) = -1 +7 -14 +9 = 1
So, to make the total of all differences from average be zero, Steve must get a score of 85 -1 = 84 on his 5th test.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:
. and I'm assuming you meant to do mixed fractions and not actually multiplying. 2 * 2/3. So the first thing to do is follow PEMDAS which essentially says Parenthesis first, Exponents next, Multiplication or Division, and then Addition or Subtract. So let's start by evaluating the 2 2/3 and 1 1/2. The first step is to combine 2 into the 2/3 and the 1 into 1/2. This is done by multiplying the 2 by the denominator of 3, and adding it to the numerator so:
. And you do this for the 1/2 as well:
.
Now when adding fractions, you can only add them when they have the same denominator, so we have the get 3/2 and 8/3 to have the same denominator. You can list the multiplies of 2 and 3 to try to find a LCM, but in this case, I'll just multiply 2 and 3, since they're really small numbers, also because 6 is the LCM.
. And now do this to the 3/2 you get:
. Now the inside of the parenthesis is:
. So now we have the equation:
. Also notice how I got ride of the plus sign and made it negative? Think of it as having a 1 in front and simply distributing that to the -7, 1*(-7) becomes -7.
Now to multiply the fraction by a whole number you simply multiply the denominator and numerator, and you can think of the denominator of a whole number as a 1. So this gives you:
. Now we have the equation:
. And to subtract these two numbers I'll make the 3 1/2 a fraction by multiplying the 3 by the denominator and adding it to the 1 which should become 7/2. And after that multiply both sides by 3/3 to get 21/6 so they have the same denominator. This gives you the equation:
. Which can simplify by dividing both sides by 2 to get:
