84=sum/25
6(100)+3(60)+x=sum
find the sum from 1st equation then use it to find x in the 2nd question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I do not understand the first equation. sum of what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sum of the marks for all the students in the class
average=sum of items/number of items
84=sum/25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 84/25?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sum=84*25

are we together
here we multiply both sides by 25\[84=\frac{Sum}{25}\]
\[Sum=84*25=2100\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok 6(100)+30(60)+x=2100?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so x=?
