The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

Answer: Incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Gavin and his three friends wants to share 
of cake equally.
So, there are 4 members to distribute the cake
Each member will get
So, each member get one-twelvefth of the given cake.
Hence, Gavin is incorrect.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 
= - 
The y- intercept is where the line crosses the y- axis
The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3 ) ⇒ b = 3
(b)
y = - x + 3 ← equation of line
Answer:
second option
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 6x - 33 = 0 ( add 33 to both sides )
x² - 6x = 33
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 = 33 + 9
(x - 3)² = 42 → second option
