You need to understand that you're solving for the average, which you already know: 90. Since you know the values of the first three exams, and you know what your final value needs to be, just set up the problem like you would any time you're averaging something.
Solving for the average is simple:
Add up all of the exam scores and divide that number by the number of exams you took.
(87 + 88 + 92) / 3 = your average if you didn't count that fourth exam.
Since you know you have that fourth exam, just substitute it into the total value as an unknown, X:
(87 + 88 + 92 + X) / 4 = 90
Now you need to solve for X, the unknown:
87
+
88
+
92
+
X
4
(4) = 90 (4)
Multiplying for four on each side cancels out the fraction.
So now you have:
87 + 88 + 92 + X = 360
This can be simplified as:
267 + X = 360
Negating the 267 on each side will isolate the X value, and give you your final answer:
X = 93
Now that you have an answer, ask yourself, "does it make sense?"
I say that it does, because there were two tests that were below average, and one that was just slightly above average. So, it makes sense that you'd want to have a higher-ish test score on the fourth exam.
Answer:
:-):-)
Step-by-step explanation:
1) p<1000
2)p>500
3)By combining the above two, we get: 500<p<1000
Andre will agree as he thinks that the no. of paper clips in the box is less than 1000. But lin will not as she thinks that the no. of clips is more than 500.
4)This time, they both will agree as the no. of paper clips is more than 500 but less than 1000.
Answer:
<h2><u><em>30x² − 23x − 14</em></u></h2>
Explanation:
Length: (6x - 7)
Width: (5x + 2)
(6x - 7) (5x + 2)
= (6x + −7)(5x + 2)
(6x)(5x) + (6x)(2) + (−7)(5x) + (−7)(2)
= 30x² + 12x − 35x − 14

Answer:
answer: 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x=3+6
2x=9
x=9/2
x=4.5
Answer:
x < -17
Step-by-step explanation:
-3-7x - 41 - 7>68
Combine like terms
-7x-51>68
Add 51 to each side
-7x-51+51>68+51
-7x > 119
Divide each side by -7, remembering to flip the inequality
-7x/-7 < 119/-7
x < -17
