First we define the variables:
m = multiple choice questions
s = short answer questions
Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:
1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:
2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:
By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!
Answer:B & E
Step-by-step explanation:
We can first rearrange the function to isolate y. Then, we can find the slope as the function is in the form y=mx+b.
Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can put the slope of 3/4 into the point slope form to get the answer.
<em>For reference, the point-slope form is </em>
The first line is found in option E, so option E is one of the correct options.
We can also move the x to the other side, as two of the 5 options have both variables on the left (B and C).
If we multiply the whole equation by -4, we can get rid of the fraction.
Hence, option B is also correct.
