Answer:

Let x be the number of 3- point questions and y be the number of 5-points questions.

As per the given statement:

A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions.

Then the system of equation is:

x + y = 24           ......[1] and

3x + 5y = 100                   ......[2]

we can write equation [1] as ;

y = 24 -x

Substitute this in equation [2] we have;

3x + 5(24-x) = 100

Using distributive property: a\cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b +a \cdot c

3x + 120 - 5x =100

Combine like terms:

120 - 2x =100

Subtract 120 from both sides we get;

120 -2x -120 = 100-120

Simplify:

-2x = -20

Divide both sides by -2 we get;

\frac{-2x}{-2}= \frac{-2}{-2}

Simplify:

x = 10

Substitute the value of x in equation [1] to solve for y;

10 + y =24

Subtract 10 from both sides we get;

10 + y -10 = 24-10

Simplify:

y = 14

Therefore, the number of 3-points questions x is, 10 and the number of 5-points questions y is, 14

Let the value of 3-points questions be x.
The value of 5-point questions be y.
x + y = 24
Then x = 24 - y which makes 3x + 5y = 100
3(24 - y) + 5y = 100
72 - 3y + 5y = 100
Lets get the ys together, 72(-3y + 5y)  = 100
72 + 2y = 100
The value of y = (100 - 72) = 2y
2y = 28
y = 14.
If y is equal to 14, what about x?
x = 24 - y
x = 24 - y
x = 24 - 14
x = 10.
The value of 3-points questions is 10, and the value of 5 points questions is 14.

juin [17]

Answer: FALSE

Explanation:

The nervous system is the system that detects and responds to changes inside and outside the body. This system consists of the brain, the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The structure and organisation of the tissues that form these components enables rapid communication between different parts of the body.

Parts of the nervous system includes:

--> Central Nervous System ( consists of the brain and spinal cord)

--> Peripheral Nervous System ( consists of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord).The two functional parts of the peripheral nervous system are made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent). The motor division is involved in activities that are voluntary (somatic nervous system) and involuntary (autonomic nervous system).

The somatic motor division consists of somatic motor neurons that innervates ONLY the SKELETAL MUSCLE for its voluntary actions while the autonomic motor neurons innervates the cardiac and smooth muscles. Therefore the statement is FALSE
