If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100
If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100
Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :
3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8
Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:
x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30
The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8
means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.
13%, 5 years, 2500 could most likely maybe be the answer a question
Answer:
median
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to sort the numbers from largest to smallest (you could go the other way as well).
60 52 48 44 20 16 12
The median is the middle number 44 in this case. The median has 3 numbers on its left and 3 on its right (in this case). 44 has 60 52 48 or its left and 20 16 and 12 on its right.
The mean is the average. We'll call it the new average
The mean is 60 + 52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = 252
The new mean is 252 / 7 = 36
=====================
The old median is the average between the middle 2 numbers (before you added 60 you had 6 numbers)
52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12 = the average of 44 + 20 which 64/2 = 32
The old mean was (52 + 48 + 44 + 20 + 16 + 12)/6 = 32.
=======================
The median increased from 44 to 32 = 12
The mean went from 32 to 36 which is 4
Answer: the median increased more
Answer:
B (2.5, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 5 (multiply all by 4)
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
eliminate the 4y
8x- 4y = 20
-8x - 4y = - 20
-------------------- –
16x = 40
x = 40/16 = 2.5
now we substitute x with 2.5
2x - y = 5
2(2.5) - y = 5
y = 0
<span> You must make it a fraction by multiplying by 100, moving the decimal over by 2 spaces right so we have 36. Then, put it over 100, because it is a fraction. Now, with 36/100 we must simplify by dividing each number by another # that goes into it evenly, such as 2. We get 18/50, reduce by 2, we get 9/25. There you go hope I helped </span>
