I find it convenient to let a graphing calculator draw the graph (attached).

If you're drawing the graph by hand, there are a couple of strategies that can be useful.
The first equation is almost in slope-intercept form. Dividing it by 2 will put it in that form:
y = 2x -4
This tells you that the y-intercept, (0, -4) is a point on the graph, as is the point that is up 2 and right 1 from there: (1, -2). A line through those points completes the graph.

The second equation is in standard form, so the x- and y-intercepts are easily found. One way to do that is to divide by the constant on the right to get ...
x/2 +y/3 = 1
The denominators of the x-term and the y-term are the x-intercept and the y-intercept, respectively. If that is too mind-bending, you can simply set x=0 to find the y-intercept:
0 +2y = 6
y = 6/2 = 3
and set y=0 to find the x-intercept
3x +0 = 6
x = 6/3 = 2
Plot the intercepts and draw the line through them for the graph of this equation.

Here, we have suggested graphing strategies that don't involve a lot of manipulation of the equations. The idea is to get there as quickly as possible with a minimum of mistakes.
We want to find the value that makes
To find it we must look at the standard normal table, using the complementary cumulative table we find that
Then, using the z-score we can find the minimum score needed, remember that
Where
σ = standard deviation
μ = mean
And in our example, x = minimum score needed, therefore
Rounding to the nearest integer the minimum score needed is 568, if you get 568 you are at the top 20.1%.
