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

Solve to following equation for x: 6(4x +5) = 3(x + 8) +3
Delvig [45]
6 * 4x = 24x
6 * 5 = 30

3 * x = 3x
3 * 8 = 24

24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3
24x + 30 = 3x + 27

subtract 3x from both sides

21x + 30 = 27

subtract 30 from both sides

21x = -3

divide both sides by 21

x = -1/7

HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!! EASY! GIVE LONG DETAILED ANSWER!
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x² + 2x + y² + 4y = 20

(x² + 2x + 1) - 1 + (y² + 4y + 4) - 4 = 20

(x + 2)² + (y + 4)² - 5 = 20

(x + 2)² + (y + 4)² = 25

Therefore, the center is (-2, -4) and the radius is √25 = 5.

The table represents the linear function f(x), and the equation represents the linear function g(x).
Eva8 [605]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the function value when x=0. The table shows f(0) = 1. The equation shows g(0) = 1, so the y-intercepts are equal.

__

The value of f(x) changes by (11 -1) = 10 when the value of x changes by (2 -0) = 2. That means the slope of f(x) is 10/2 = 5.

The slope of g(x) is the x-coefficient, 4. We note that 5 > 4, so the slope of f(x) is greater than for g(x).

The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x).
