Answer:
15 answers
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question we need to set up an equation.
Let's name the number of incorrect answers x.
<u>We can set up an equation that's essentially:</u>
(Points for correct answer)*(number of correct answers)+(points for incorrect answer)*(number of incorrect answers)=final score
When we plug in our numbers and variables it looks like this:
5(3)+(-2x)=-15
Simplify
15-2x=-15
Subtract 15 from both sides
-2x=-30
Divide both sides by -2
x=15
This means Smitha attempted 15 wrong answers, and that there were 18 questions in total.
<span>2x^2 + 3x + 5 = 0
a = 2 b = 3 and c = 5
x = [-b +-sq root(b^2 -4ac)] / 2a
</span><span>x = [-3 +-sq root(9 -4*2*5)] / 4
x = [-3 +-sq root(9 - 40)] / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) + sq root (-36) / 4
</span><span>x = -(3 / 4) - sq root (-36) / 4

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- 8 < 4 ( add 8 to both sides )
< 12
Multiply both sides by 4 to clear the fraction
j < 48 → D
Answer:
2 and 7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
3 + 3/8 - 1/2
3 + 3/8 - 4/8
3 - 1/8
