X = number of correct answers
Y = number of incorrect answers
School A has 174 points and school B has 102 points.
A = 174
B = 102
School A has the same number of correct and incorrect answers during the final round.
A = 174 + 10X - 6Y
School B gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as school A.
B = 102 + 10X
The contest ends with the two schools tied.
Score = 174 + 10X - 6Y = 102 + 10X
174 + 10X - 6Y = 102 + 10X
Since they are asking for the unit rate in bolts per wing nut, you can think of it as bolts per ONE wing nut.
To figure that out, you can divide 100 bolts by 2 wing nuts to get 50 bolts per wing nut.
Since there are 20 students on the field trip. Then 20 is the 100% total. Thus, to find how many people love the museum, we can simply multiply the total number of people by the percentage of interest, namely 40%
20*0.4 = 8
So, 8 people love the museum.
Since there were 6 slices, and he ate 1/3, 6*1/3= 2, so he ate 2 slices
If B is the midpoint of AC, that means that the distances from A to B and B to C are the same. The distance from A to B is 8x + 4, and the distance from B to C is 10x - 6, so we can set these two equivalent:
8x + 4 = 10x - 6
Solving for x:
4 = 2x - 6 (subtract 8x from both sides)
10 = 2x (add 6 to both sides)
5 = x (divide both sides by 2)
So, x = 5, which is the second option given.
