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.

Determine if the following system of equations has no solutions, infinitely many
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The system has infinitely many solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

5x+3y=9 ----> equation A

-10x-6y=-18 ----> equation B

Multiply by -2 both sides equation A

-2(5x+3y)=-2(9)

-10x-6y=-18 ----> equation C

Compare equation B and equation C

The equations are identical (is the same line)

therefore

The system has infinitely many solutions

Is a consistent dependent system
