Answer: the player answered 30 questions correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of questions that the player answered correctly.
Let y represent the number of questions that the player answered incorrectly.
The number of questions that the player answered is 40. It means that
x + y = 40- - - - - - - - - - -1
The score on the trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If the player obtained a score of 50, It means that
2x - y = 50
y = 2x - 50
Substituting y = 2x - 50 into equation 1, it becomes
x + 2x - 50 = 40
3x - 50 = 40
3x = 40 + 50 = 90
x = 90/3
x = 30
What I like to do to solve these is to divide the 175 by 100 because that's kind of what it relates to a percent... and then I multiply by 96. So in this problem:
175/100= 1.75
1.75 x 94 and then that equals your answer 164.50 euros is the new cost of the ticket.
Hope this Helps!
P.S a thanks or brainliest would mean a lot. :)
Answer:
{x | x∈ R, x < 2}
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Open circle on 2
Arrow pointing left
Required
Determine the inequality
An open circle on 2 means represents either < or >
The arrow points to the left of -2 means that the number line represents numbers less than 2. i.e. < 2
Represent the numbers with x.
The inequality is: x < -2
Using proper notation, the inequality is: {x | x∈ R, x < 2}
Answer: B
Hope this helps!!
