Standardized z score for the act result = (30 - 21.5) / 5.4 = 1.574
so for the sat ressult we have 1.574 = (X - 1498) / 316
X = 316 * 1.574 + 1498 = 1995 answer
Three plus four times twelve
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 13

So it would be $8.65/ 5lbs. And divide the top and the bottom by 5 and you get $1.73/ 1 lbs. I hope this helps!
