Answer:
It is not possible for Alice to score an average of 75% because what she needs to score in the fifth exam exceeds the maximum possible score.
Step-by-step explanation:
She scored an average 68% in all 4 exams.
This means; (68% + 68% + 68% + 68%)/4
Now, a fifth exam is added and we want to know if her average can now be 75%.
Thus, let the score in the 5th exam be x and we now have;
(68% + 68% + 68% + 68% + x)/5 = 75%
Multiply both sides by 5 to get;
(68% + 68% + 68% + 68% + x) = 375%
272% + x = 375%
x = 375% - 272%
x = 103%
The maximum score is 100% and therefore it is impossible for her to score 103%. Therefore it is not possible for Alice to score an average of 75%
Answer:
The equation of the line would be y = -1/3x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this, we first need to find the slope of the original line. We do this by solving for y.
2x + 6y = 10
6y = -2x + 10
y = -1/3x + 5/3
Now that we see the slope as -1/3, we know the new line will have the same slope thanks to the definition of parallel lines. So, we can use this slope and the point in point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - -5 = -1/3(x - 3)
y + 5 = -1/3x + 1
y = -1/3x - 4
Leg * /2 = hypotenuse
Hypotenuse divided by /2 = leg
12 divided by /2
Rationalize denominator:
12 * /2 divided by by /2 * /2
Simplify denominator:
12 * /2 divided by 2
Simplify:
6 * /2 or 4.24
Both x and y because it’s a 45-45-90 triangle
