Answer : 96
x – y = 16
--------> equation 1

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade
We solve the first equation for y
x - y = 16
-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)
y = -16 + x
Now substitute y in second equation



Take common denominator to combine fractions


Add 8 on both sides

Multiply both sides by 
x = 96
We know x is the higher grade
96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Each mix of numbers and letters that is separated by a + or a - is a term.
You need to calculate how many times the required difference is of the standard deviation, i.e. the ratio difference / standard deviation.
These are the calculations:
Standard deviation = 0.2 mm
Difference between 25.6mm and the mean = 25.6mm - 25mm = 0.6 mm
Ratio difference / standard deviation = 0.6mm / 0.2 mm = 3.
Then, the answer is that a ball with a diameter of 25.6 mm differs 3 standard deviations from the mean.
A.) .4 of a balloon is left
To Check:
what I did was divide 172 by 27 and it is 6.37 rounded to ........6 is an equal number so I kept it and .4 will be left over after sharing equally.
B.) 17 more balloons are needs
To Check:
what I was multiply 27 by 7 because each student needs seven balloons and I got 189 after that I subtracted 172 from 189 (189-172=17)
to see how many more balloons are needed.
