Answer:

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for the mean: sum of elements / number of elements

Let x represent her first exam score.

Her second exam score can be represented by x + 11, since it was 11 points better than her first.

Her third exam score can be represented by (x + 11) + 5, since it was 5 points better than her second.

Plug in all of these expressions into the mean formula. Plug in 87 as the mean, and plug in 3 as the number of elements (since there are 3 scores):

mean = sum of elements / number of elements

87 =  ( (x) + (x + 11) + (x + 11) + 5 ) / 3

Add like terms and solve for x:

87 = (3x + 27) / 3

261 = 3x + 27

234 = 3x

78 = x

So, her first score was a 78.

Find her second score by adding 11 to this:

78 + 11 = 89

Find her third score by adding 5 to the second score:

89 + 5 = 94

Her first exam score was a 78, her second exam score was a 89, and his third exam score was a 94.

What is the value of x?<br> (9x - 3)<br> (6x)<br> 48°<br> Enter your answer in the box.<br> X=
Dima020 [189]

Answer:  x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of three interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

(9x - 3)  + (6x)  + 48° = 180°

9x - 3 + 6x + 48 = 180

15x + 45 = 180

15x = 135

x = 9

at maximum speed , an airplane travels 1680 miles against the wind in 5 hours flying with the wind , the plane can travel the sa
Westkost [7]
X = velocity of plane
y = velocity of wind

x - y = 1680/5 = 336 mph .....(1) [ plane flying against the wind]
&
x + y = 1680/4 = 420 mph....(2) [ plane flying with the wind]

Adding (1) and (2) to eliminate y gives

2x = 756
x = 378 mph is the speed of the plane with no wind.
