Let 'x' be the problems worth 2 points.

Let 'y' be the problems worth 3 points.

Since, there are 38 total problems.

So, x+y =38 (equation 1)

x = 38-y

Since, a perfect score is 100 points.

So, 2x+3y = 100 (equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x', we get

2(38-y)+3y=100

76-2y+3y=100

76+y = 100

y = 24

x+y = 38

x = 38-24 = 14

So, 14 problems are worth 2 points and 24 problems are worth 3 points.

Total questions in the test = 38

Let 2 points questions be = x

Let 3 points questions be = y

As total questions are 38, so

x+y=38

From here, we can derive x as: x=38-y  ...... (i)

As given, few questions are 2 marks each and rest 3 marks each and perfect square is 100, so we get,

2x+3y=100   .......(ii)

Put the value of y from (i) in (ii)

2(38-y)+3y=100

76-2y+3y=100

y=24

Putting y in equation (i), we get

x=38-24

x=14

Hence, 2 points questions are = 14

3 points questions are = 24

Tyler has two savings accounts that his grandparents opened for him. One of accounts pay 7 % annual interest, whereas the other
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

$400 and $1,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the x be the amount invested in 7% account

And, 600 + x be the amount invested in 9% account

Now the equation is

7x% + 9%(600 + x) = $118

0.07x + 54 + 0.09x = $118

0.16x = $118 -$54

0.16x = $64

x = $400

And, the other one is = $400 + $600 = $1,000

Please solve this question <br>the answer is 45 degree ​
malfutka [58]

Answer:

∠ABC= 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABC= ∠BCD (alt. ∠s, AB//CD)

(2x +15)°= (3x)°

2x +15= 3x

3x-2x= 15 <em>(</em><em>-2x </em><em>on </em><em>both </em><em>sides)</em>

x= 15

Substituting the value of x:

∠ABC

= ∠BCD

= [3(15)]°

= 45°
