x+y=24

3x + 5y = 100

Rewrite the first equation: x = 24-y

Replace x in the second equation and solve:

3(24-y) +5y = 100

72-3y +5y = 100

72 +2y = 100

2y = 28

y = 14

Y is the number of 5 point questions, so there are 14 5 point questions.

The answer would be:

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

What are the solutions of the inequality (x-3)(x+5)<=0
GarryVolchara [31]

Assuming that the inequality you were going for was a ≤, set both polynomials less than or equal to 0.

x - 3 ≤ 0

x + 5 ≤ 0

For the first equation add 3 to both sides of the inequality. For the second, subtract 5 from both sides.

x ≤ 3

x ≤ - 5

These would be your solutions I guess, however, if you want to expand upon that, your actual answer is (- ∞, - 5] because if you were to plot these two inequalities on a number line, that is where the overlap would occur.

Does Every positive real number have both a positive and negative cube root?
vovangra [49]
Yes. For example, 25. The square root of 25 is 5 because 5*5=25. Multiplying two negatives always= a positive, so -5*-5=25.
