Answer:
a) Is it possible for Fred to accomplish this? Yes
b) If it is possible, what score does he need in his next game? 293
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Let us represent the number of games Fred bowled to get an average of 177 = X
His total points scored in that game would be
177 × X
= 177X
To achieve an average of 178 for his next game,
The total number of points he scored was 199, hence that is represented as:
178 = 177X + 199/ X + 1
178(X + 1) = 177X + 199
178X + 178 = 177X + 199
178X - 177X = 199 - 178
X = 21
Hence, Fred bowled 21 games to achieve an average of 178
Therefore, the score he needs to have on the 23rd game is obtained as:
= (23 × 183) - (22 × 178) = 4209 - 3916 = 293
Therefore, it is possible for Fred to raise his average from 178 to 183 in a single game, but he must bowl 293 in his next game to do this.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
This expression was kind of trial and error for me seeing as I'm not really good at logic, but this is pretty basic. There are three possible places the parentheses can be placed (assuming each pair holds 2 terms);
The answer to the first expression would be 45, which is not equal to 11.
The answer to the second expression would be 15, which is also not equal to 11.
The answer to the last expression is 11, so that is the correct answer.
Hope this helped :D
