Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is calculated as

mean = $\frac{sum}{count}$

let x be his test score of his last test , then

$\frac{86+70+72+100+96+80+x}{7}$ = 85 ( multiply both sides by 7 )

504 + x = 595 ( subtract 504 from both sides )

x = 91

How to solve logarithmic equations as such

Serga [27]

$\bf \textit{exponential form of a logarithm} \\\\ \log_a b=y \implies a^y= b\qquad\qquad a^y= b\implies \log_a b=y \\\\\\ \begin{array}{llll} \textit{Logarithm of exponentials} \\\\ \log_a\left( x^b \right)\implies b\cdot \log_a(x) \end{array} ~\hspace{7em} \begin{array}{llll} \textit{Logarithm Cancellation Rules} \\\\ log_a a^x = x\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{we'll use this one}}{a^{log_a x}=x} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\bf \log_2(x-1)=\log_8(x^3-2x^2-2x+5) \\\\\\ \log_2(x-1)=\log_{2^3}(x^3-2x^2-2x+5) \\\\\\ \log_{2^3}(x^3-2x^2-2x+5)=\log_2(x-1) \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{writing this in exponential notation}}{(2^3)^{\log_2(x-1)}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5}\implies (2)^{3\log_2(x-1)}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5$

$\bf (2)^{\log_2[(x-1)^3]}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5\implies \stackrel{\textit{using the cancellation rule}}{(x-1)^3=x^3-2x^2-2x+5} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{expanding the left-side}}{x^3-3x^2+3x-1}=x^3-2x^2-2x+5\implies 0=x^2-5x+6 \\\\\\ 0=(x-3)(x-2)\implies x= \begin{cases} 3\\ 2 \end{cases}$

Work out the size of angle x.

klemol [59]

Answer:

120°

Step-by-step explanation:

since 60° and x are alternate interior

you get this equation

60° + x = 180

subtract 60 from both sides

x = 120
