⇛-7.5(x−3) = 3.75

⇛-7.5x + 22.5 = 3.75

⇛-7.5x = 3.75 - 22.5

⇛-7.5x = -18.75

⇛x = -18.75 ÷ -7.5

⇛x = -18.75/-7.5

⇛x = 2.5

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

-7.5(x-3)=3.75

or, -7.5x+22.5=3.75

or, -7.5x= 3.75-22.5

or, -7.5x= -18.75

or, x= 18.75÷7.5

or, x= 2.5

Mrs. Mitchell decided to grade her projects by giving each student 50 points if they turned in a project and then an additional

photoshop1234 [79]

Let $c$ be the amount of parts the student answered correctly. Suppose that $s(c)$ is a function between $c$ and the score of a student's project. As the student initially receives a fixed $50$ points for turning the project in and $5$ points for each correct part, the function is initially:

$s(c) = 5c+50$

When the students receive $7$ points for each correct part, the coefficient of $c$ changes, as the amount of points received per correct answer increases. Thus:

$s(c) = 7c+50$ .
