Answer : 96
x – y = 16 --------> equation 1
1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52
x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation
1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52
1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52
1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52
Take common denominator to combine fractions
1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52
5/8x - 8 = 52
Add 8 on both sides
5/8x = 60
Multiply both sides by 8/5
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
X + x + 24 = 58
x = (58-24)/2=17
the first number is 17 and the second number is the sum of 17 and 28. Finding it has been left as an exercise for the reader.
so, uh, i think the answe is actually 5. Since 5^2 is 25, minus 5 is 20, and 5 minus 1 is 4, 20 divided by 4 is 5. i hope that helps.
