Angela’s average for six math tests is 87. on her first four tests she had scores of 93, 87, 82, and 86. on her last tests she scored 4 points lower than she did on her fifth test what scores did Angela receive on her firth and sixth tests?

Sagot :

Answer:

the scores on her last test is x (x > 0)

because on her last tests she scored 4 points lower than she did on her fifth test

=> the scores in the 5th test is x + 4

because Angela’s average for six math tests is 87, we have:

[tex] \frac{93 + 87 + 82 + 86 + x + x + 4}{6} = 87 \\ \\ < = > \frac{352 + 2x}{6} = 87 \\ \\ < = > 352 + 2x = 522 \\ \\ < = > 2x = 170 \\ \\ < = > x = 85[/tex]

=> on her last test, she had 85

=> on her 5th test, she had 85 + 4 = 89
