Question 789702
Can someone help me solve this?
On an algebra test, the highest grade was 44 points more than the lowest grade. The sum of the two grades was 140.
Find the highest grade.
------
Lowest grade: x
Highest grade: x + 44
------
Equation:
x + x+44 = 140
2x = 96
x = 48 (lowest score)
x+44 = 92 (highest score)
