The mean of Tom’s scores on 5 tests was 77.4%. The scores on his first four tests were 88, 77, 70, and 72. What was Tom’s score on his fifth test?

88%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we multiply the mean by 5.

77.4 x 5 = 387

Then we add all of the test scores.

88 + 77 + 70 + 72 = 299

We subtract the total of the scores from 387, which we got from mulitplying the mean by 5.

387 - 299 = 88

Therefore, Tom's score on his fifth test was an 88%.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
