Solving 8 problems per minute, Fast Finn can finish his test in time. He was however, working faster, solving 10 problems per mi

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Number of problems = 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of questions and t be the time.

Given:

Average rate = 8 problems per minute

Fast Finn rate = 10 problems per minute

Fast Finn taken time = t - 6

We need to find the number of problems on the test paper.

Solution:

Average rate to solve test paper.

$Average\ rate =\frac{Number\ of\ questions}{time}$

$8 =\frac{x}{t}$

$t =\frac{x}{8}$ --------------(1)

Fast Finn rate to solve the test paper.

$Average\ rate =\frac{Number\ of\ questions}{time}$

$10 =\frac{x}{t-6}$

Using cross multiplication rule.

$x=10(t-6)$

$x=10t-60$

substitute $t =\frac{x}{8}$ from equation 1.

$x=10(\frac{x}{8}) -60$

Rearrange the equation as:

$x - \frac{5}{4}x = -60$

$\frac{4x-5x}{4}=-60$

$-\frac{x}{4} = -60$

Using cross multiplication rule.

$x = 60\times 4$

x = 240 problems.

Therefore, 240 problems were on the test.

Which statements are true about the ordered pair (2, 3) and the system of equations?

adoni [48]

Answer:

The Correct Answer are

The ordered pair (2, 3) is not a solution to the system of linear equations.
When (2, 3) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true.
When (2, 3) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Correct Answer are

When (2, 3) is substituted into the first equation, the equation is true.

3x + 4y = 18 equation ( 1 )

3×2 + 4×3 = 18

6 + 12 = 18

18 = 18

When (2, 3) is substituted into the second equation, the equation is false.

2x – 2y = 2

2×2 - 2×3= 4 - 6 = -2≠2

The ordered pair (2, 3) is not a solution to the system of linear equations.

Solution means if we (2, 3) Substitute in both the Equation it Must Satisfy

But in Equation 1 it Satisfy

and in Equation 2 Not satisfy

Therefore It is NOT a solution to the system.
