29. Mikaela's scores were 89,90,9289, 90, 92. What should her last score be to get an average of at least 9191? a. 9393 and above b. 9292 and above c. 9292 and below d. 9393 and below
30. To solve 5x>15-5x > 15, which property of inequality should be used? a. addition property b. multiplication property c. transitive property d. reflexive property

STEP 1

Assumptions for problem 29
1. Mikaela's scores in the first three tests are 89, 90, and 92.
2. The average score Mikaela wants to achieve is at least 91.
3. There are four tests in total.

STEP 2

First, we need to calculate the total score Mikaela needs to achieve an average of at least 91 over four tests.
Averagescore=TotalscoreNumberoftestsAverage\, score = \frac{Total\, score}{Number\, of\, tests}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the average score and the number of tests to find the total score needed.
Totalscore=Averagescore×NumberoftestsTotal\, score = Average\, score \times Number\, of\, tests
Totalscore=91×4Total\, score = 91 \times 4

STEP 4

Calculate the total score needed.
Totalscore=91×4=364Total\, score = 91 \times 4 = 364

STEP 5

Next, we need to find the total score Mikaela has already achieved from the first three tests.
Totalscoresofar=89+90+92Total\, score\, so\, far = 89 + 90 + 92

STEP 6

Calculate the total score so far.
Totalscoresofar=89+90+92=271Total\, score\, so\, far = 89 + 90 + 92 = 271

STEP 7

Now, we can find the score Mikaela needs on the last test to reach the total score of 364.
Scoreneededforlasttest=TotalscoreTotalscoresofarScore\, needed\, for\, last\, test = Total\, score - Total\, score\, so\, far

STEP 8

Plug in the values to calculate the score needed for the last test.
Scoreneededforlasttest=364271Score\, needed\, for\, last\, test = 364 - 271

STEP 9

Calculate the score needed for the last test.
Scoreneededforlasttest=364271=93Score\, needed\, for\, last\, test = 364 - 271 = 93
Mikaela needs to score 93 on the last test to achieve an average of at least 91. Therefore, the answer is: a. 93 and above
