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

Big Mack buys meat for the family reunion cookout. He needs to buy 11 packagesof meat. A package of hotdogs costs $2.59, and a p
IgorC [24]

Hello!

Let's write some important information contained in the exercise:

• hotdogs: $2.59 (,x,)

,

• hamburgers: $5.29 (,y,)

He needs 11 packages. Let's write it:

• x + y = 11

He spent a total of $39.29. We can write it as:

• 2.59x + 5.29y = 39.29

Now, let's solve these two equations as a linear system:

\begin{cases}x+y=11\text{ equation A} \\ 2.59x+5.29y=39.29\text{ equation B}\end{cases}

First, let's isolate x in equation A:

\begin{gathered} x+y=11 \\ x=11-y \end{gathered}

Now, we will replace where's x by 11-y in equation B:

\begin{gathered} 2.59x+5.29y=39.29 \\ 2.59(11-y)+5.29y=39.29 \\ 28.49-2.59y+5.29y=39.29 \\ -2.59y+5.29y=39.29-28.49 \\ 2.7y=10.8 \\ y=\frac{10.8}{2.7} \\  \\ y=4 \end{gathered}

As I called the hamburgers as 'y', we know that he bought 4 packages of hamburgers.

Line GH contains points (-2,6) and H (5,-3). What is the slope of GH
svetlana [45]

Answer:

    -9/7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope given 2 points, we use the formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

 where (x1,y2) and (x2,y2) are the two points

m = (-3-6)/(5--2)

m = (-3-6)/(5+2)

   = -9/7

Vicky ran 5⁄14 of a mile and walked 1⁄7 of a mile. how much further did vicky run than walk?
raketka [301]
To solve, we need to subtract from these two fractions. In order to do this, we will change one of them to have the same denominator as the other.

We have 5/14 and 1/7
Let us change 1/7

Multiply 2/2 (a form of 1 so it does not change the value of the fraction)

2/2 • 1/7 = 2/14

Now subtract from 5/14
5/14 - 2/14 = 3/14

ANSWER: Vicky ran 3/14 of a mile more
