Answer:

12 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

All problems were of equal value

Let x be the number of problems in the test

We apply a rule of three

x -------------------------------  100%

(x-10) --------------------------- 17%

(x-10)*100%/(x)   = 17%

(x-10)/(x)   = 0.17

(x-10)   = 0.17*x

0.83*x = 10

x = 12.05

x = 12 problems

1.) Exclude the restricted values of n 
2.) Move constant to the right side and change its sign 
3.) Subtract the numbers
4.) Simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
5.) To get the variable on the left side, switch the sides of the equation
6.) Divide both sides of the equation by 60
7.) Reduce the fraction with 5
8.) If any solution equals to the restricted value, exclude it

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 1 - x

g(x) = x² + 2x - 5

(f + g)(x) is f(x) + g(x)

<u>Step 2: Solve</u>

  1. Substitute in functions:                                                                                     (f + g)(x) = (1 - x) + (x² + 2x - 5)
  2. Combine like terms (x):                                                                                    (f + g)(x) = x² + x - 5 + 1
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         (f + g)(x) = x² + x - 4
