Jerrod received a total score of 1340 on the SAT. His math score was 400 points less than twice his verbal score. What was his math score and his verbal score?
Verbal score = X points.
Math score = 2x - 400 points.
x + 2x-400 = 1340.
X = 580 points. = verbal score.
2x-400 = 2*580 - 400 = ------Points = math score.
m+v = 1340
m = 2v-400
now just crank it out
Let's assume Jerrod's verbal score is V.
According to the information given, his math score is 400 points less than twice his verbal score, so his math score is (2V - 400).
The total score on the SAT is the sum of the verbal and math scores, so we can write the equation:
V + (2V - 400) = 1340
Combining like terms:
3V - 400 = 1340
Adding 400 to both sides of the equation:
3V = 1740
Dividing both sides by 3:
V = 580
Now we can substitute this value back into the equation to find the math score:
2V - 400 = 2(580) - 400 = 1160 - 400 = 760
Therefore, Jerrod's verbal score is 580 and his math score is 760.
To find Jerrod's math and verbal scores, we can set up an equation based on the information given.
Let's assume that Jerrod's verbal score is "x." According to the information provided, his math score is 400 points less than twice his verbal score, or 2x - 400.
The total SAT score is the sum of the math and verbal scores, which is given as 1340. So we can write the equation:
x + (2x - 400) = 1340
Now we can solve this equation to find the values of x and 2x - 400.
Combining like terms on the left side, we get 3x - 400 = 1340.
Adding 400 to both sides of the equation, we have 3x = 1740.
Finally, dividing both sides by 3, we find x = 580.
Therefore, Jerrod's verbal score is 580, and his math score is 2(580) - 400 = 760.
