I'm not sure if you use "x" as your variable, so:
# + 5 = 3 or x + 5 = 3
24,717.
What you have to do is subtract 38,773-14,056 and then the answer would be 24,717. So all together 24,717 must be added to result in the sum of 38,773.
14,056+24,717=38,773.
First, divide the shape into two figures ( a semicircle and a rectangle)
Then, find the are or the two shapes using the area formula for a semicircle (

) and the are formula for a rectangle (base x height)
Finally, add the two areas together and you have your answer
Answer : 96
x – y = 16 --------> equation 1
1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52
x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation
1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52
1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52
1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52
Take common denominator to combine fractions
1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52
5/8x - 8 = 52
Add 8 on both sides
5/8x = 60
Multiply both sides by 8/5
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
