Question

A student has taken three math tests so far this semester. His scores for the first three tests were 65​, 67​, and 69. Suppose his test scores continue to improve at the same rate. What will be his grade on the sixth​ (and final)​ test? What will be his total score for all six​ tests?

Answer 1

75

Explanation:

Scores for his first tests were 65, 67, 69.

Rate of change: +2

y=2x+63; 63 is the 0th test he took, his first test was 65, so 65-2=63. 2x is the rate of change, his tests scores increase by 2 each time.

x=6, 6th test score

y=2(6)+63

y=12+63

y=75

So, on his 6th test he will get a score of 75
