We can plug in the values from the data table into those equations:y = 2.5 x - 26.252.5 * 12.5 - 26.25 = 52.5 * 14.5 - 26.25 = 102.5 * 16.5 - 26.25 = 152.5 * 18.5 - 26.25 = 202.5 * 20.5 - 26.25 = 252.5 * 22.5 - 26.25 = 30Answer:C ) y = 2.5 x - 26.25

A student has scores of 70 and 80 on two tests. What must the student score on the last test to ensure that her average is great
BigorU [14]
Her average is calculated by the mean, which takes the sum of all her scores and divides it by the number of steps.

Therefore, we just need to set up an inequality using the above formula. I'll call the third test 'x'.

First add all test scores together, divide by 3 and then use ‘>’ to show the left side must be greater than 80:

(70 + 80 + x)/3 > 80

Next, simplify everything. 70 + 80 can be simplified to 150:

(150 + x)/3 > 80

Then multiply both sides by 3. The 3 on the left side cancels out as divide 3 and multiply 3 equals zero:

(150 + x) * 3 > 80 * 3

Now simplify everything again:

150 + x > 240

Now subtract 150 from both sides to isolate the x. 150 - 150 cancels out to zero:

150 + x - 150 > 240 - 150

Now simplify again and you have your answer:

x > 90

From rearranging the inequality, we have found that in her third test (x), she must score above 90 to have an average greater than 80.

Elijah made 100 brownies this week. He baked 4 more than three times the total he made last week. How many brownies did he bake
Tom [10]

Answer:

388 or 288

Step-by-step explanation:

this week in total = 100

4 more ( + ) 3 times ( x ) last

- - - - - -

100 - 4 = 96

96 x 3 = 288

either subtract or add

288 - 100 = 188

or add

288 + 100 = 388

hope this helps !

A rectangular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the athletic field is 72 yards, what are its di
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Width= 12 yards

Length= 24 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(length + width)

Let

w= width

Twice as long as it is wide

Length= 2w

Perimeter of the rectangle= 72 yards

Perimeter of a rectangle= 2(length + width)

72 = 2(2w + w)

72 = 4w + 2w

72 = 6w

Divide both sides by 6

72/6 = w

12= w

w=12

Therefore,

Width= 12 yards

Length= 2w

=2(12)

=24 yards
