Answer:

580

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the answer should be in terms of z scores, we can calculate the z score as

z = (observed value - mean)/(standard deviation)

For the first exam, the observed value is 86, the mean is 71, and the standard deviation is 20. The z score fot that exam is

z = (86-71)/20 = 0.75

Then, for the second exam, Evelyn has to do equivalently well, so the z score must be the same. Therefore, we have

0.75 = (observed score - 550)/40

multiply both sides by 40 to remove a denominator

0.75 * 40 = observed score - 550

add 550 to both sides to isolate the observed score

0.75 * 40 + 550 = observed score = 580

First set up a proportion because they are similar triangles:
9/3x-20 = (72+9)/(56+3x-20)
9/3x-20 = 81/3x+36
9(3x+36) = 81(3x-20)
27x+324 = 243x-1620
1944 = 216x
x = 9
