Answer:
Molly's Z score for LSAT
z-score=-2
Molly's Z score for MCAT
z-score=2
Step-by-step explanation:
z-score for LSAT
Molly's score=120
mean=150
Standard deviation=15
z-score= (Molly LSAT score-mean)/standard deviation
z=120-150/15=-30/15=-2
z-score for MCAT
Molly's score=52
mean=40
Standard deviation=6
z-score= (Molly MCAT score-mean)/standard deviation
z=52-40/6=12/6=2
7x - 1 + 6x - 1 = 180
add the x’s, add the numbers
13x - 2 = 180
add 2 to 180
13x = 182
divide 182 by 13
x = 14
This is because simplifying the equation before solving it will lead you to the answer at a much faster rate. For example, in the given equation, the long way would be to distribute 2 to (x+3). Then, you transpose them and combine like terms. Until you get to x + 3 = 8. But if you simplify it first, you will see that it is straightforward. It will lead you to the answer right away which is x + 3 = 8. It saves you from the hassle of doing more algebra :)
The equation of the line that passes through the points (2,1) and (5,-8) is
y = -3x + 7
