Answer:

There were 40 2-point questions and 9 3-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this situation, write two equations. One for the number of questions and one for the number of points.

Let x be the number of 2 point questions.

Let y be the number of 5 point questions.

x + y = 49

Now since x are each worth 2 points, the total points is 2x.

And since y are each worth 5 points, the total points is 5y.

So 2x + 5y = 125. Substitute one of the equations into the other to solve for the variables.

x + y = 49 becomes x = 49 - y. Substitute it.

2(49-y) + 5y = 125

98 - 2y + 5y = 125

98 + 3y = 125

3y = 27

y = 9

Substitute y = 9 back into the equation x = 49 - y to find x.

x = 49 - 9

x = 40

Determine the values of n
N76 [4]
<h2>Answer:</h2><h3>b. n is odd</h3><h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In this problem, we assume that n is a whole number. The definition of inverse functions tells us that a function f has an inverse function if and only if the function is one-to-one, that is, if there is no any horizontal line intersecting the graph of f at more than one point. This only happens if n is odd. This is called the Horizontal Line Test for Inverse Functions. So let's take two examples:

FIRST:

n=2 \\ \\ f(x)=x^2

Since n is even, an horizontal line will pass through two points as indicated in the first figure below.

SECOND:

n=3 \\ \\ f(x)=x^3

Since n is odd, an horizontal line will pass through just one point as indicated in the second figure below.

For a=3-5c when c=-0.5, what does a equal?
Sonbull [250]

Plug in -0.5 for c


a = 3 - 5(-0.5)


Multiply -5 with (-0.5)


a = 3 + 2.5


Simplify


a = 5.5


a = 5.5 is your answer


hope this helps
