Factoring:
FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) method
(a+b)(c+d) = 0
ac+ad+bc+bd = 0
Zeros:
(x+a)(x+b) = 0
x+a = 0, x= 0-a
x+b = 0, x= 0-b
Answer:
%82.5
Step-by-step explanation:
- The final exam of a particular class makes up 40% of the final grade
- Moe is failing the class with an average (arithmetic mean) of 45% just before taking the final exam.
From point 1 we know that Moe´s grade just before taking the final exam represents 60% of the final grade. Then, using the information in the point 2 we can compute Moe´s final grade as follows:
,
where FG is Moe´s Final Grade and FE is Moe´s final exam grade. Then,
.
So, in order to receive the passing grade average of 60% for the class Moe needs to obtain in his exam:

That is, he need al least %82.5 to obtain a passing grade.
3/8=.375
.375 move the decimal two times to the right to make it a percent so it would be 37.5%
Answer:
39 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that a cyclist travelled at an average rate of 13 miles per hour for 3 hours and are asked to how far she travelled in miles.
To solve, we need to take into mind that for three hours, the cyclist drove 13 miles per hour.
Meaning that for every hour, 13 miles were driven.
Therefore we need to multiply 13 by 3 to get our answer :
13 miles * 3hrs
39 miles
