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.

Answer:

The question has a missing part and here it the complete question:

Imagine each letter of the word “Mathematical” is written on individual pieces of paper and placed in a bag. Should you pick a random letter from that bag, what is the probability that you pick a vowel?

Answer: 5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the probability of picking a vowel.

From the word 'Mathematical', we have a total of 12 letters and a total of 5 vowels (a,e,a,i,a).

Probability of picking a vowel = Total number of times the event(vowel) occurs/total number of possible outcomes(total letters)

$Probability = \frac{5}{12}$
