Answer:

x+y=68

x-y=15

Step-by-step explanation:

A "sum" means that we will be using addition, while a "difference" indicates subtraction. Anytime we have two unknown numbers we generally use "x" and "y".

The variables A, B, and C represent polynomials where A = x + 1, B = x2 + 2x − 1, and C = 2x. What is AB + C in simplest form?
topjm [15]
AB + C
= (x + 1)(x^2 + 2x - 1)  +  2x
= x^3 + 2x^2 - x + x^2 + 2x - 1 + 2x
= x^3  + 3x^2 + 3x - 1

On three 150-point geography tests, you earned grades of 88%, 94%, and 90%. The final test is worth 250 points. What percent do y
Semmy [17]
You must earn 243 points to have earned 93% of all possible points.

We first multiply each percentage on the previous tests by 150:

0.88*150 = 132
0.94*150 = 141
0.9*150 = 135

The total number of points possible is given by adding up the possible points for the three previous tests and the 250 for the last test:
150+150+150+250 = 700

93% of the 700 points would be 0.93(700) = 651 points.

Now we have 132+141+135+x (last test) = 651
408 + x = 651

Subtract 408 from both sides:
408+x-408 = 651-408
x = 243
