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

How to find the θ in this equation: tan(θ+16°)=1/tan(θ+60°) by using the trigonometric identities?thanks
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

\huge \theta  =7°

Step-by-step explanation:

tan( \theta + 16 \degree) =  \frac{1}{tan( \theta + 60 \degree) }  \\ tan( \theta + 16 \degree) =cot( \theta + 60 \degree) \\ tan( \theta + 16 \degree) = tan \{90 \degree - (\theta + 60\degree) \} \\ \theta + 16 \degree = 90 \degree - \theta  -  60\degree \\ \theta +\theta  = 30 \degree - 16\degree \\2 \theta  = 14 \degree  \\ \theta  =  \frac{14 \degree}{2}   \\   \huge \red{ \boxed{\theta  =7 \degree}}
