<span>Leah, Let x=Blair's fish and 2x= Jay's fish; yet together they caught 27 fish. So, x + 2x=27; Combine the like terms. So, 3x=27; Now divide both sides of the equation by 3, therefore, x=9 which is the amt of fish Blair caught. So, 2(9)=18 is the amt of fish Jay caught. Check: 9 +2(9)=27; 27=27.</span>

this is for homework not for test or quizzes
Hi there,
1)
6 + (w - 10) = 5
6 + w - 10 = 5
- 4 + w = 5
w = 5 + 4
Hence, W = 9
2)
2/3 + y - 1/9 = 7/9
5/9 + y = 7/9
y= 7/9 - 5/9
Hence, Y = 2/9
4)
4x - 3/2x - 15/4 = 3/8
32x - 12x - 30 = 3
20x - 30 = 3
20x = 3 + 30
20x = 33
Hence, the answer is 33/20
5)
0.7(3s + 4) - 1.1s = 7.9
2.1s + 2.8 - 1.1 = 7.9
s + 2.8 = 7.9
s = 7.9 - 2.8
Hence, the answer is 5.1
Hope this all helps :)
Class 2 scored better on average
<h3>How to determine which class scored better on average?</h3>
The averages and the standard deviations are given as:
Class 1
Mean score = 7.8
Standard deviation = 1
Class 2
Mean score = 8.1
Standard deviation = 0.2
As a general rule, the smaller the standard deviation; the better the average
Class 2 has a smaller deviation
Hence, class 2 scored better on average
