Answer:
Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The mean score is the total of all scores divided by the total number of tests.
Let
x_1 ----> the score in the first math test
x_2 ----> the score in the second math test
x_3 ----> the score in the third math test
x_4 ----> the score in the fourth math test
we have
After taking the first 3 tests, his mean test score is 88 points
so

----> equation A
How many points does he need on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points?
so

----> equation B
substitute equation A in equation B

solve for x_4


Therefore
Kevin needs 96 points on his last test to raise his mean test score to 90 points.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
5x + 3 - 2x = 12 + 7x - 2
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Combine like terms: 3x + 3 = 7x + 10
- [SPE] Subtract 3x on both sides: 3 = 4x + 10
- [SPE] Subtract 10 on both sides: -7 = 4x
- [DPE] Divide 4 on both sides: -7/4 = x
- Rewrite: x = -7/4
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 5(-7/4) + 3 - 2(-7/4) = 12 + 7(-7/4) - 2
- Multiply: -35/4 + 3 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Add: -23/4 + 7/2 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Add: -9/4 = 12 - 49/4 - 2
- Subtract: -9/4 = -1/4 - 2
- Subtract: -9/4 = -9/4
Here we see that -9/4 does indeed equal -9/4.
∴ x = -7/4 is the solution to the equation.
