Answer:

5x-2y =80

x+y=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, 5x is the points earned by correct questions (5 points per right answer) and -2x is the points lost by wrong answers (2 points taken away for every wrong answer). The total points the contestant earned is 80, which is why we set this equation equal to 80. Hence, 5x-2y=80.

They also tell us that the contestant answered a total of 30 questions, so x and y combined would be the total number of questions. Hence, x+y=30.

Answer:

Liz

Step-by-step explanation:

lets make all speeds ft/1sec

Ron 8ft/1sec

Liz 104ft/7sec : 104/7=

14.8571428571 ft/1 sec

Katie

1 mile = 5280ft

5280ft/526sec

5280/526=

10.0380228137ft/1 sec

Emily,

1 min= 60 sec

835ft/60 sec

835/60=

13.9166666667 ft/sec

now, lets order from least to greatest

R:8ft/1sec, K:10.0380228137ft/1 sec,

E:13.9166666667 ft/sec, L:14.8571428571 ft/1 sec

Liz's speed is fastest

(2x + 3y) + (4x - 3y) = 11+(-5)
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The correct option should have been 6x=6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

\left(2x\:+\:3y\right)\:+\:\left(4x\:-\:3y\right)\:=\:11+\left(-5\right)

solving the expression

\left(2x\:+\:3y\right)\:+\:\left(4x\:-\:3y\right)\:=\:11+\left(-5\right)

Remove parentheses:  (a) = a

2x+3y+4x-3y=11-5

Group like terms

3y-3y+2x+4x=11-5

Add similar elements

6x=6

It is clear that not a single given option is 6x=6. It means no option is correct. It seems you mistyped the correct options.

The correct option should have been 6x=6.

Rajan needs 1 liter of 15% hydrochloric acid solution for an experiment. He checks his storage cabinet, but he only has a 5-lite
Delvig [45]

Answer:

  1. <em>0.75</em><em> liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution </em>
  2. <em>0.25</em><em> liters of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that, x liters of the 5% hydrochloric acid and y liters of the 45% hydrochloric acid solutions are combined.

As Rajan need total of 1 liter of solution, so

x+y=1

i.e x=1-y --------------------1

As Rajan needs 5% hydrochloric acid and 45% hydrochloric acid to make a 1 liter batch of 15% hydrochloric acid, hence acid content of the mixture of two acids will be same as of the final one, so

0.05x+0.45y=1\times 0.15

i.e 5x+45y=15 -------------2

Putting value of x from equation 1 in equation 2,

\Rightarrow 5(1-y)+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5-5y+45y=15

\Rightarrow 5+40y=15

\Rightarrow 40y=15-5=10

\Rightarrow y=0.25

Putting the value of y in equation 1,

x=1-0.25=0.75

Therefore, Rajan must use 0.75 liters of 5% hydrochloric acid solution and 0.25 liters  of 45% hydrochloric acid solution.
