The average of three test scores is 82. The scores on the first test and the third test are the same. The score on the second test is 6 less than the score on the first test. What is the score on the first test?

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the test

(x + x + ( x - 6))/3=82

((3x - 6)/3) • 3= 82 • 3

3x - 6 + 6 = 246 + 6

3x = 252

x = 84

b. 24 mm

step-by-step explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 7^2 = 25^2

a^2 + 49 = 625

a^2 = 576

a = 24

answer: b. 24 mm
