Louise got scores 88 and 78 on her first two tests. What score must she make on her third test to keep an average of 80 or greater?

You want the average of three scores to be at least 80:

(88 + 78 + x)/3 ≥ 80

88 + 78 + x ≥ 80(3)

166 + x ≥ 240

x ≥ 74

You must make at least 74 on the 3rd test to maintain an average of at least 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

she must make a 74 or greater in order for her grade to average out to be 80+

Step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.
