Answer : 96
x – y = 16 --------> equation 1
x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation
Take common denominator to combine fractions
Add 8 on both sides
Multiply both sides by
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
