Option D. 96 is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Let the higher grade be = x
Let the lower grade be = y
As given, The difference of the two grades is 16
or
.... (1)
The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52.
... (2)
Putting the value of x=16+y in equation (2)






As x=16+y
x=16+80 = 96
Hence, higher grade is 96.
Answer:
7) x=3, y=-7
x=0, y=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
(2 + a) = (a + 2) it's commutative property
(a + 2) - 7 = a + (2 - 7) it's associative property
2 - 7 = -5 it's subtraction
Answer: distributive property { a(b + c) = ab + ac }
