A test is worth 50 points. Multiple- choice questions are worth 1 point, and short answer questions are worth 3 points. if the t
bagirrra123 [75]
Correct answer is C. 
m + 3s = 50 
the total number of questions is 20. since the paper is made of only multiple choice and short answer questions, the sum of the multiple choice and short answer questions should be 20.
since multiple choice is 'm' and short answer is 's'
then m + s = 20
but theres no option for that 
if we take the number of points 
points for 1 multiple choice question - 1
then points for m number of multiple choice questions = 1 * m = m
points for 1 short answer - 3
then points for s number of short answer question = 3 * s = 3s
then total number of points = m + 3s
and the total number of points = 50
therefore 
m + 3s = 50
this is the correct answer C.

two trains leave the station at the same time one heading east and the other west. the eastbound train travels 14 miles per hour
Xelga [282]
You should look to units of measure when setting up problems. when math is done correctly, the units cancel out just as numbers and variables do.

 (miles / hr) * hr = miles

Speed = (miles / hr)

So if the Train W is traveling at x miles/hr
Then Train E is traveling (x+14) miles/hr

The combined distance they two trains travel is 320 miles

2x + 2(x+14) = 320
2x + 2x + 28 = 320
4x + 28 = 320
4x = 292
x = 292/4
x = 73 miles/hr

remember we set x as the speed for Train W
so Train E is going 73 + 14 = 87 miles/hr
