Unclear of the question, but the value is already as a mixed fraction. The value of absolute value is just the distance from zero. So, |-4|=4 or |6|=6
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
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
You said X = (5y+1) / (y-2)
Multiply each side by (y-2):
X(y-2) = (5y+1)
Eliminate parentheses:
Xy - 2X = 5y + 1
Add 2X to each side:
Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X
Subtract 5y from each side:
(X-5)y = 1 + 2X
Divide each side by (X-5):
<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5) </em>
