Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

hram777 [196]

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

$x \times 5 + y \times 10=100$

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Gilda drove 650miles at an average speed of 50 miles per hour.how many miles per hour faster would she have had to drive in orde

zzz [600]

T=650mi(hr/50mi)=13 hr

t-1=12 hr

12=650/(50+v) multiply both sides by 50+v

600+12v=650 subtract 600 from both sides

12v=50 divide both sides by 12

v=25/6 mph

v≈4.17mph

Don works in home construction. He determined that the function t(A)=144A/9.252 gives the total number of 9 in. tiles needed to

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

6,226 tiles of 9 in are needed to cover an area of 400 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A -----> an area in square feet

t(A) ---> the total number of 9 in. tiles needed

we have

$t(A)=\frac{144A}{9.252}$
