The sum of chris and mike’s scores on a math quiz is 39. mike’s score is twice the sum of chris’ score and 3. find each student’s quiz score.

c=11, m=28

Step-by-step explanation:

c= Chris's score

m= Mike's score

c+m=39                 we know from the equation that their scores

                              add up to 39, so this equation is a good starting

                              point.

c+2(c+3)=39          we also know that Mike's score is twice the sum of Chris's

                              score and 3 so we can substitute that in for his score.

                              now we can solve.

c+2c+6=39             distribute

3c+6=39                 combine like terms

   -6  -6                  

3c=33                     addition property of equality

÷3  ÷3          

c=11                         multiplication property of equality

Now that we know Chris's score, we simply substitute that number in in our simple equation for earlier to find Mike's score.

11+m=39                  substituted in 11 for c

-11     -11                  

m=28                       addition property of equality

There you go! Don't worry, I had a lot of trouble with these types of problems too. That's why I'm so good at them now Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.

multiply length by height. multiply the length by the height, and then double the product. work out 10 x 10 results = 100 square inches, then work out 100 x 2 = 200. the answer is 200 square inches.
