Answer:

Sally is 23 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

John's age is completely unknown, so it is known as x

Meanwhile, Sally's age can be represented as 3x+2

The sum of both ages is 30.

So, x+3x+2=30

Combine like terms.

4x+2=30

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4x=28

Divide both sides by 4.

x=7

John is 7 years old.

Sally's age: 3(7)+2=23

Sally is 23 years old.

Answer:

The Alans's average for the course is 84.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

There are 4 tests, A Term paper and a Final examination.

Score = 92, 78, 82, 90.

Term paper score = 80

Final examination score = 86

Weighted mean = ∑ w.f/∑w

also the sum of all the weights is 100% = 1

weighted mean = 15%*92 + 15%*78+15%*82+15%*90+20%*80+20%*86/1

= 51.3 + 33.2

= 84.5

Therefore the Alans's average for the course is 84.5
