So average is of the first 6 tests is 82 well that means
(test1 + test2+ test3+ test4 + test5+test6)/6 = 82
so now let do some cross multiplliying
test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 82*6
test1 + test2 + test3 + test 4 + test5 +test6 = 492
now lets see if we can find that 7th test score
(test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 + test7)/7 = 80.5
So look we found test1 + test2 + test3 + test4 + test5 +test6 to be 492 so lets substitute.
(492 + test7 )/7 = 80.5
test7 = (80.5*7)-492 = 71.5
Answer:
a= -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call:
f = price of 1 cup of dried fruit
a = price of 1 cup of almonds
In order to build the linear system, you need to consider that the total price of a bag is given by the sum of the price of cups times the number of cups in each bag, therefore:

Solve for a in first equation:
a = (6 - 3f) / 4
Then substitute in the second equation:
41/2 f + 6 · (6 - 3f) / <span>4 = 9
41/2 f + 9 - 9/2 f = 9
16 f = 0
f = 0
Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
</span>a = (6 - 3·0) / <span>4
= 3/2 = 1.5
Hence, the cups of dried fruit are free and 1 cup of almond costs 1.5$</span>
If it's not 6 cubic feet (because by the wording the answer is given).
If one dimension of the amount of soil they remove is 6, then you have to do 6*6*6= 216
If the total amount of soil removed is 6 cubic feet, then the dimensions of the cube would be ![\sqrt[3]{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B6%7D)
