Answer:
For the first test the score was 89 and on the second test it was 96
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the answer we make the situation into an algebraic expression.
[tex]x + (x - 7) = 185 \\ 2x - 7 = 185 \\ 2x = 185 + 7 \\ 2x = 192 \\ \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{192}{2}[/tex]
192 divided by 2 is 96; hence
[tex]x = 96 \\ x + (x - 7) = 185 \\ 96 + (96 - 7) = 185 \\ 96 + 89 = 185[/tex]
