Answer:
84 points
y= 100-2x where y= total score (0 through 100) and x= # of questions wrong (0 through 50)
Step-by-step explanation:
100- 2(8) = y
100-16 = y
84=y
Since each question (x) is worth two points (2) we have to multiply each wrong question by two (2x). And then since we're deducting point from the possible points (100) we have to subtract (100-2x)
Didn't you mean "Find the possible value or values of z? y is not at all present in this equation.
z^2 - 4z + 4 = 0 can be factored into (z-2)(z-2). Thus, the given equation has two equal, real solutions: z=2 and z=-2.
Answer:
A = (2p + 9) (2p - 9)
B = (x - 9) (x - 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
For A : Rewrite 4p^2 as (2p)^2.
(2p)^2−81
Rewrite 81 as 9^2.
(2p)^2−9^2
Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a^2 − b^2 = ( a + b ) ( a − b ) where a = 2p and b = 9 .
(2p + 9) (2p − 9)
For B : Consider the form x^2 + bx + c . Find a pair of integers whose product is c and whose sum is b . In this case, whose product is 36 and whose sum is − 13 .
-9, -4
(x - 9) (x - 4)
I hope this helps.
Answer:
x = -4, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
substitute for y
2x - 5(x + 2) = 2
distribute -5
2x -5x - 10 = 2
solve
-3x - 10 = 2
add 10 on both sides
-3x = 12
divide by -3
x = -4
now substitute for x in the equation y = x + 2
y = -4 + 2
y = -2
The answer is C.
Just plug in x = 1 for each of them. The correct one is the one that gives y = 5, which is C.
