An equation that represents the minimum and maximum scores is; |x - 82| = 3.2.
<h3>How to write an absolute value equation?</h3>
The absolute value function is defined by:
f(x) = x, x ≥ 0.
f(x) = x, x < 0.
It measures the distance of a point x to the origin.
For this problem, the distance between the minimum and the maximum scores and the mean is of 3.2, that is, the difference between these scores x and the mean of 82 is of 3.2, hence the absolute value equation that represents this situation is given by:
|x - 82| = 3.2.

Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
So x is John's age.
We can solve this problem by working backwards.
Since it's 5 times his age, we first do 5x.
And then since it's five less, we move on to 5x - 5
And then we add the John's age is increased by 11: 5x - 5 = x + 11
I hope this helped :)
(It should be the second one you listed)
I got the answer 18.79
I believe this is correct, Please tell me if im wrong. :)
15 x 25 = 375
15 x 50 = 750
375 + 750 = 1,125
