Ed takes five 100-point tests in his algebra class. He scores 87, 85 and 87 points on the first three tests. If the scores of hi

s last two tests differ by three points and he has a 90% average on his five tests, what was his highest test score?

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.

Help with #1 so I can get the gist of it please?
Virty [35]

Answer:

so you graph at (0,2), and go up one, over two for every other point you graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

rise over run.

basically, the m is the slope, and b is the y intercept (where it intersects the y axis).

so when looking at how to graph the line based on 1/2 or any other number, I use rise/run, which is basically telling us tha we need to go up one and over 2 (1/2)

if that makes any sense, let me know if you have any further questions. you got this, youre doing your best!!

slope is the start of your endless pain.

How do you factor this equation?<br> 7x²+5x-3
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic expression.  Use the quadratic formula to find the roots, and then once you have the roots, write the corresponding factors.

The coefficients of this quadratic expression are a = 7, b = 5 and c = -3

The discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 5^ - 4(7)(-3), or 25 + 84 = 109.  Because this is positive, we know that the expression has two unequal, real roots.

Using the quadratic formula, we now find these roots:

      -b ± √(discriminant)

x = --------------------------------   which here is:

                   2a

      -5 ± √109

x = -----------------

             14

The factors can be found from these two roots.  The first one is

      -5 - √109                  5 + √109

(x - ---------------- )  =  (x + ---------------- )

             14                              14

and the second is

        5 - √109              

(x + ---------------- )  

             14

Carrie ate some of the oranges that her mother brought home from the grocery store of the oranges her mother bought 1/4 were lef
Whitepunk [10]
From the given scenario, it can be deduced that Carrie ate 3/5 of what was left of the oranges that were left. To determine the fraction that Carrie ate, we will multiply 3/5 by 1/4. This is equal to 3/20. Thus, Carrie ate approximately 3/20 of the oranges left.
