When ever you have percentages, it should be helpful to bear in mind you can express them as multipliers. In this case, it will be helpful.
So, if we let:
a = test score
b = target score
then, using the information given:
a = 1.1b + 1
a = 1.15b - 3
and we get simultaneous equations.
'1.1' and '1.15' are the multipliers that I got using the percentages. Multiplying a value by 1.1 is the equivalent of increasing the value by 10%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the simultaneous equations, we can just solve them now:
There are a number of ways to do this but I will use my preferred method:
Rearrange to express in terms of b:
a = 1.1b + 1
then b = (a - 1)/1.1
a = 1.15b - 3
then b = (a + 3)/1.15
Since they are both equal to b, they are of the same value so we can set them equal to each other and solve for a:
(a - 1)/1.1 = (a + 3)/1.15
1.15 * (a - 1) = 1.1 * (a + 3)
1.15a - 1.15 = 1.1a + 3.3
0.05a = 4.45
a = 89
Answer:
y = 3x - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
y = mx + b Slope Intercept Form
Step 2:
y = 3x + b Input Slope
Step 3:
- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b Input x and y values
Step 4:
- 5 = 6 + b Multiply
Step 5:
- 11 = b Subtract 6 on both sides
Answer:
y = 3x - 11
Hope This Helps :)
The equation in point slope form is given as y+3 = -5/8(x-4)
<h3>Equation of a line</h3>
The formula for calculating the equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as:
y-y1= m(x-x1)
Given the coordinate point
Slope = 2-(-3)/-2-4
Slope = 5/-8
Determine the equation
y-(-3) =-5/8(x-4)
y+3 = -5/8(x-4)
Hence the equation in point slope form is given as y+3 = -5/8(x-4)

The answer is x= 1/5 or 0.2
Its proportional.
