Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When we take an average of something, we have to add up all the data on the somethings and then divide by the number of somethings we have. Ed takes 5 tests, and we have scores for them; we also have his current average. What we don't know for sure are 2 of the 5 test scores, but we have enough to determine what they are.

If one test has a score of x, and the other test is 3 points less than that, the score on that last test is x - 3. Putting all of that together into an average problem:

\frac{87+85+87+x+(x-3)}{5}=90 and simplfiying a bit:

\frac{256+2x}{5}=90. Multiply both sides by 5 to get

256 + 2x = 450; subtract 256 from both sides to get

2x = 194 and divide by 2:

x = 97

The one test score was a 97 and the other one, which was 3 less than that, was a 94.

4x-2y=12<br> -4x-9=54<br><br> How can you order a ladder?
blagie [28]
Equations:

4x - 2y = 12
-4x - 9y = 54

Multiple them in both sides

4x - 2y - 4x - 9y = 12 + 54
-2y - 9y = 66
-11y = 66
y= -6

If y= -6 then put y in first or second equation.

I put it in first equation

4x - 2.(-6) = 12
4x + 12 = 12
x= 0

Therefore

(x,y) = (0, -6)

Galina-37 [17]
Let p= the price of a ticket
Let c= the cost to put on the show

Formula:
(profit) = (ticket price) * (number of people) - (cost to put on show)
We have two equations here:
500=120p-c
400=100p-c
Solve:
100=20p
⇒p=5
⇒400=100(5)-c
⇒400=500-c
⇒c=100

So the price of a ticket is $5, and the cost to put on the show is $100.
