Michael gets test grades of 75, 79, 82, and 87. He gets a 88 on her final exam. Find the weighted mean if the tests each count for 15% and the final exam counts for 40% of the final grade. Round to one decimal place.

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
