The number of questions answered correctly = 90.

<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>
  • A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations.
  • Linear equations refer to the equations that involve two or more variables in the form of "ax + b".

Now,

Given:

  • Total number of questions = 200
  • Marks for correct answer = 4
  • Marks for incorrect answer = -1
  • Total marks = 250

To find : Number of correct answers = ?

Finding:

Now, assuming that the student attempted and answered all the questions,

  • Let the number of questions correctly answered be x and incorrectly answered be y.

Then,

  1. x + y = 200 (For number of questions) (eqn 1)
  2. and 4x - y = 250 (For the marks scored) (eqn 2)

Solving the system of linear equations:

For eqn 2, we get that y = 4x - 250

Substituting in eqn 1, we get:

=> x + 4x - 250 = 200

=> 5x = 250 + 200 = 450

=> x = 90

That is, the number of questions answered correctly = 90, the incorrect answers = 200 - 90 = 110.

Solve the Equations
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

1) -2.13

2) 2.57

3) 33

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

3(8 + 5h) = -28  Distribute the 3

24 + 15h = -28  Subtract 24 from both sides of the equation

15h = -32  Divide both sides by 15 and round

h = - 2.13

2)

19 = 7(3n - 5)  Distribute the 7

19 = 21n - 35  Add 35 to both sides of the equation

54 = 21n  Divide both sides of the equation by 21

2.57 = n

3)

6s - 7s = -33  Combine the s's

-s = -33  Multiply both sides by -1

s = 33

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.

peter has 6/7 of a stack of baseball cards left. If he is planning on splitting what he has left into stacks that are each 3/28
DIA [1.3K]
<h3>Answer:  8</h3>

=======================================================

Work Shown:

Let's say there are 28 cards in a full stack.

6/7 = 24/28 after multiplying top and bottom by 4

Since he has 24/28 of a stack left, this means he has 24 cards left.

He wants to arrange the remaining cards into piles so that each pile consists of 3/28 of a full stack. In other words, he wants each pile to have 3 cards.

So this must mean he will get 24/3 = 8 piles

(8 piles)*(3 cards per pile) = 8*3 = 24 cards total
