The final grade in an algebra course is based on a weighted average - homework counts 10%, quizzes count 15%, tests count 50%, a

nd the final exam counts 25%. A student has a homework average of 67, a quiz average of 62, and a test average of 71. What minimum score does the student need on the final exam to get at least a 70 for the final course grade?

Answer: 74

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Homework + Quiz + Test + Final Exam = 70

67(10%) + 62(15%) + 71(50%) + x(25%) = 70

6.7 + 9.3 + 35.5 + 0.25x = 70

51.5 + 0.25x = 70

0.25x = 18.5

x = 74

The minimum score is 74.

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 74

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the minimum score a student needs to score on the final exam to earn at least a 70 for the final course grade, we will multiply the student's scores with their respective weight-age.

Supposing the minimum score in the final exam to be x, we can write an equation:

Homework + quizzes + tests + final exam = 70

67(10%) + 62(15%) + 71(50%) + x(25%) = 70

6.7 + 9.3 + 35.5 + 0.25x = 70

51.5 + 0.25x = 70

0.25x = 18.5

x = 74

I need help ASAP plzzzzz P = 2a + b for a.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2a+b

Solve for a.

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate a.

P=2a+b

P/2=a+b/2

When you rewrite the equation, it becomes:

a=P/2-b/2 (The sign changes from a positive to a negative because you need to move P/2 to the other side to get a to one side)

Therefore, your final answer is: a=P/2-b/2

Hope this helped!

Now look at this information

jeka94

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2y + 3 ≤ 11 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2y ≤ 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y ≤ 4

Since y has to be less than or equal to 4

Then the largest value y could be is 4

Find two consecutive integers whose sum is eleven less than three times the smaller integer.

asambeis [7]

Answer:

If you call the smaller integer "x" and the greater integer "y", then:

x+y=3x-11 The sum of the two is 11 less than 3 times the smaller

y=x+1 Because they are consecutive, the greater must be 1 more than the smaller

Then you can solve for x:

x+(x+1)=3x-11 Substitute x+1 for y

2x+1=3x-11 Combine like terms

2x+12=3x Add 11 to both sides

12=x Subtract 2x from both sides

The smaller integer is 12, thus the greater integer is 1 more or 13.

Check:

12+13=3(12)-11

25=36-11

25=25 Yes, so the integers are 12 and 13

Step-by-step explanation:

thats pretty much it
