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.

Drawing a cartoon in pencil, then going back over it later with an ink pen is most similar to which biological process?
Montano1993 [528]

Given that the main reason for which an artist will retrace a drawing in pen is to <u>correct errors </u>and achieve a <u>final draft</u>, we can compare this to the biological process of DNA proofreading.

DNA proofreading is a <u>biological process </u>that takes place during the biosynthesis of DNA. During this time, a chain of <u>DNA </u>is read and a complementary chain is creating, <u>effectively duplicating the genetic code</u>.

During this process, DNA proofreading takes place. This is described as a process in which the DNA polymerase retraces the genetic code, detecting and fixing any errors in the synthesis before the strand is closed once again.

The fact is that both processes, despite taking place in astronomically different situations, share a final goal which is to prepare the "product" for the "final draft". This allows us to draw <u>valid</u> <u>comparisons </u>between the retracing of a <u>cartoon </u>and the <u>proofreading </u>of <u>DNA </u>by the DNA polymerase enzyme.
