Answer:

Each question had 4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the questions be x points each. As both Gretchen and Ezia received equal scores, we can write the equation as:

18x+19=15x+31   (Let the questions be x points each)

Solving for x;

18x-15x=31-19

=> 3x=12

Dividing both sides by 3;

x = 4

Hence, each question had 4 points.

My solution here is as follows:

The scores were the same, so 

18m+19 = 15m+31 

<span>Now solve for m, the # points for each multiple-choice question.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always!

A group of hikers walked 2 1/4 km in 3/4 hour.The distance here varies directly with time. What is the constant of variation?
telo118 [61]

The distance depends on the time.

So now we need to find the constant of variation or the constant of proportionality.

To do so we must find y(the dependent variable) and x(the independent variable).

To find the constant(k) we must find y/x

Since y/x=k

Then 2.25/.75=k

k=3
