Ответ:
He needs a score of 88 on his last test.
Step-by-step explanation:
His mean score is the sum of all his scores dvided by the number of tests. Mathematically, that is:
Zach took four biology tests and got scores of 83, 86, 91, and 77. He needs to complete one more test.
In total there are 5 tests, so![n = 5](/tpl/images/0556/5058/0d79a.png)
His scores are 83, 86, 91, 77 and x. In which x is his score on the last test. So![S = 83+86+91+77+x = 337 + x](/tpl/images/0556/5058/e64e4.png)
If he wants to get an average of 85 on all fve tests, what score does he need on his last test?
This is X when M = 85. So
He needs a score of 88 on his last test.
Ответ:
subtract 3 from both sides
1/5x+3-3=2-3
1/5x=-1
multiply both sides by 5
5*(1/5x)=(5)*(-1)
x=-5
Hope this helps!
