Answer:

Test contains 15 multiple choice and 5 essay .

Option (B) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the multiple choice questions be x.

Let us assume that the essay questions be y.

As given

A test worth a total of 100 points contains multiple choice questions worth 3 points each and essay questions worth 11 points each.

Than the equations becomes

3x + 11y = 100

There are 20 questions on the test.

Than the equations becomes

x + y = 20

The two equations are

3x + 11y = 100 and  x + y = 20

Multiply  x + y = 20  by 3 and subtracted from 3x + 11y = 100

3x - 3x + 11y - 3y = 100 - 60

8y = 40

y = \frac{40}{8}

y =  5

put in the equation x + y = 20

x + 5 = 20

x = 20 - 5

x = 15

Therefore test contains 15 multiple choice and 5 essay .

A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The number of plums = 4

The number of peaches =  16

The number of nectarines =  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of peaches be = x

Let the number of nectarines be = y

Let the number of plums be = z

A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that

The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.

i.e x = 4z

The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that

Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3

i.e y = z - 3

If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.

Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21

4z + z-3 + z = 21

6z =21 +3

z = 24/6

z = 4

Therefore, the number of plums = 4

The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16

The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1
