A science test, which is worth 100 points, consist of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If X is

the number of 3 point questions and why is the number of 5 point questions, the system shown represents this situation. X+y=24, 3x+5y=100. What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test?

Answer:

x= 10 y=14 : 10 3 point, 14 5 point

Step-by-step explanation:

Write your equation down vertically,

3x + 5y = 100

 x + y   =  24

Next find multiply bottom equation by one number from the tops opposite,

3x + 5y = 100

(-3)x +(-3)y = (-3)24

3x + 5y = 100

-3x - 3y= -72

Add the two functions to isolate y

2y= 28 y=14

Plug y back into original and solve

3x +5(14) =100 --> 3x + 70 =100 --> 3x = 30 x=10

Answer:

The mentioned number in the exercise is:

  • <u>362</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain the mentioned number in the exercise, first you must write the equations you can obtain with it.

If:

  • x = hundredths digit
  • y = tens digit
  • z = ones digit

We can write:

  1. x = z + 1 (the hundreds digit is one more than the ones digit).
  2. y = 2x (the tens digit is twice the hundreds digit).
  3. x + y + z = 11 (the sum of the digits is 11).

Taking into account these data, we can use the third equation and replace it to obtain the number and the value of each digit:

  • x + y + z = 11
  • (z + 1) + y + z = 11 (remember x = z + 1)
  • z + 1 + y + z = 11
  • z + z +y + 1 = 11 (we just ordered the equation)
  • 2z + y + 1 = 11 (z + z = 2z)
  • 2z + y = 11 - 1 (we passed the +1 to the other side of the equality to subtract)
  • 2z + y = 10
  • 2z + (2x) = 10 (remember y = 2x)
  • 2z + 2x = 10
  • 2z + 2(z + 1) = 10 (x = z + 1 again)
  • 2z + 2z + 2 = 10
  • 4z + 2 = 10
  • 4z = 10 - 2
  • 4z = 8
  • z = 8/4
  • <u>z = 2</u>

Now, we know z (the ones digit) is 2, we can use the first equation to obtain the value of x:

  • x = z + 1
  • x = 2 + 1
  • <u>x = 3</u>

And we'll use the second equation to obtain the value of y (the tens digit):

  • y = 2x
  • y = 2(3)
  • <u>y = 6</u>

Organizing the digits, we obtain the number:

  • Number = xyz
  • <u>Number = 362</u>

As you can see, <em><u>the obtained number is 362</u></em>.

Question 6 of 23<br> What is the slope-intercept equation of the line below?
fgiga [73]
I think its B , because if you connect the TWO dots forming a triangle its 3 up and 4 to the right making 3/4 as the slope and the Y intercept is 1 so y=3/4x +1
