Answer:

The number of essay questions on the test were 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Total number of questions in a test = 26

Total points for the 26 questions = 123

The point for each multiple choice questions = 3

The point for each essay questions = 8

Let The number of multiple choice questions = m

Let The number of essay questions = e

<u>Now, According to question</u>

Total number of questions in a test = number of multiple choice questions +  number of essay questions

Or, m + e = 26         .....A

Again

Total points for the 26 questions =  point for each multiple choice questions  ×  number of multiple choice questions + point for each essay questions × number of essay questions

i.e 3 × m + 8 × e = 123

Or, 3 m + 8 e = 123          .......B

Solving the equation we get

8 × ( m + e ) - (3 m + 8 e) = 8 × 26 - 123

Or, 8 m + 8 e - 3 m - 8 e = 208 - 123

Or,(8 m -  3m) + (8 e - 8 e) = 85

Or, 5 m + 0 = 85

∴  m = \dfrac{85}{5}

i.e m = 17

So,The number of multiple choice questions = m = 17

Put the value of m into eq A

∵ m + e = 26

Or, e = 26 - 17

i.e e = 9

So, The number of essay questions = e = 9

Hence, The number of essay questions on the test were 9 . Answer

What methods do you know that can be used to solve a quadratic equation?
zhuklara [117]

Answer: If the quadratic equation has real, rational solutions, the quickest way to solve it is often to factorise into the form (px + q)(mx + n), where m, n, p and q are integers. This is especially true where the coefficient of x2 is 1.

Example 1 - Solve x2+7x+12=0

Step-by-step explanation:

that's the only one I remember
