Answer:

$x = -47$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the distributive property

5 ( x - 7 ) = 6 ( x + 2 ) → 5x - 35 = 6x + 12

2. Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation

5x - 5x -35 = 6x - 5x + 12 → -35 = x + 12

3. Subtract 12 from both sides

-35 - 12 = x + 12 - 12 → -47 = x

4. So, the answer is

$x = -47$

mestny [16]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Winnona took 5 tests and retake Test 5. So the mean score for this question is Total number of scores divide by Total number of tests is equals to 87 :

Let Test 5's score be x,

Let mean score be 87,

$\frac{95 + 85 + 96 + 97 + x}{5} = 87$

Next you have to solve the value of x :

$373 + x = 87 \times 5 \\ 373 + x = 435 \\ 373 + x - 373 = 435 - 373 \\ x = 62 \: \: \: scores$
