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.

If the truck is 14,000 pounds and increases by 2 tons yes. However if it is above 14,000 then no it will not be a class 4 truck.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then
ratio of areas = a² : b²
Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus
ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 =
Answer:
1. Proved down
2. proved down
3. f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us explain how to solve the question
∵ f(0) = -20, f(n) = f(n - 1) - 5 for n > 1
→ That means we have an arithmetic sequence with constant
difference -5 and first term -20
1. → f(1) means we need to find the second term, which equal the
term - 5
∵ f(1) means n = 1
∴ f(1) = f(1 - 1) - 5
∴ f(1) = f(0) - 5
∵ f(0) = -20
∴ f(1) = -20 - 5 → Proved
2. → f(3) means we need to find the third term, which equal the
second term - 5
∵ f(3) means n = 3
∴ f(3) = f(3 - 1) - 5
∴ f(3) = f(2) - 5
→ f(2) = f(1) - 5
∵ f(1) = -20 - 5
∴ f(2) = [-20 - 5] - 5 = -20 - 5 - 5
∴ f(3) = [-20 - 5 - 5] - 5
∴ f(3) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved
3. → From 1 and 2 we notice that the number of -5 is equal to n,
at n = 1 there is one (-5), when n= 3 there are three (-5)
∵ n = 10
∴ There are ten (-5)
∴ f(10) = -20 - 5(10)
∴ f(10) = -20 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5 → Proved
