Question

The average of three test scores is 82. The scores on the first test and the third test are the same. The score on the second test is 6 less than the score on the first test. What is the score on the first test?

Answer 1

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the test

(x + x + ( x - 6))/3=82

((3x - 6)/3) • 3= 82 • 3

3x - 6 + 6 = 246 + 6

3x = 252

3        3

x = 84
