A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100

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.

How do geologic timelines help scientists?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

They used relative dating to divide Earth's past in several chunks of time when similar organisms were on Earth. Later, scientists used absolute dating to determine the actual number of years ago that events happened. The geologic time scale is divided into eons, eras, periods, and epochs.
