If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100
If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100
Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :
3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8
Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:
x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30
The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8
means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
Answer:
63°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of all interior angles of a triangle = 180°
Therefore:
x + 96° + 21° = 180°
x + 117 = 180
Subtract 117 from each side
x = 180 - 117
x = 63°
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(d) Infinitely Many Solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Each point of intersection between the lines is a solution. When the lines lie on top of each other, there are infinitely many points of intersection, hence ...
Infinitely Many Solutions
5x²+y²=3
by implicit differentiation we shall have:
10x+2yy'=0
the second derivative will be:
10+2y"=0
2y"=-10
y"=-5
