Pre-Algebra - Lesson 41. To find the overall average, first find out how much all the numbers add up to and then divide that by the number of numbers. Here is an example:
The average of the first four scores was 87. The average the next 6 scores was 75. What was the overall average?
You can set up the problem like this:
# of Scores x Average = Total
4 x 87 = 348 (The total tells you how much the scores
added up to.)
6 x 75 = 450
Now total the two totals. 348 + 450 = 798
Since you now have a total of TEN scores, divide 798 by 10. You can just move a decimal one place to the left when you divide by 10. The answer would be 79.8.
Algebra I - Lesson 41.
Addition of like terms. To add terms in rational expressions, first, rewrite each term so that all the exponents are positive. Do this by moving your variables with negative exponents across the fraction bars and changing the exponent to a positive. Now, look at all the terms. If the variables and their exponents are identical, then you have like terms. Add the coefficients in the numerator only. Remember, it's like adding fractions - you only add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.
Two-step problems. These are simple evaluation problems with an extra step. For example:
If x - 5 = 20, what is the value of x - 4?
First, solve the equation to find the value of x. Add 5 to both sides and you see x = 25. Then, use that answer to evaluate the expression, x - 4. So, you have 25 - 4 = 21.
See you tomorrow!
