3x -1/2y = -7/2
x = -2y + 1
3 (-2y + 1) -1/2y = -7/2
-6y +3 -1/2y = -7/2
-13/2y = -13/2
y = 1
x = -2(1) + 1
x = -1
Answer = (-1, 1)
Let the number x.
Then the number divided by 2 gives

Subtract 3.8 from the quotient gives

Hence,


x = 21.6
77+72=149
149/2=74.5
through the process of elimination, I found that Jim needs to get an 88 or higher to receive an average of 79 or greater.
77+72+88=237
237/3=79
