Using a system of equations, it is found that Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.

<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

In this problem, the variables are:

Variable x: Number of questions she got correct.

Variable y: Number of questions she got wrong.

The test has 30 questions, hence:

x + y = 30 -> y = 30 - x.

She scored 152 points, hence, considering the value of each question:

8x - 3y = 152.

Since y = 30 - x:

8x - 3(30 - x) = 152

11x = 242

x = 242/11

x = 22

Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.

Divide the following polynomials and then complete the quotient. Write your answer in order of decreasing powers of x.

NikAS [45]

The easiest way to do this is to put each term in the numerator over the denominator and do the division/reducing for each one. Like this: $\frac{10 x^{6} }{5 x^{2} } + \frac{20 x^{4} }{5 x^{2} } - \frac{15 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} }$ . The first term reduces to $2 x^{4}$ , the second to $4 x^{2}$ , and the third to 3. Putting them all together with the signs in between we have $2 x^{4} +4 x^{2} -3$
