Answer:

10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of five-point questions and y represent the total number of two-point questions.

Equation 1:     5x+2y=130

Equation 2:     x+y=50

Multiplying Equation 2 by 2:     2x+2y=100     (Equation 3)

(Equation 1) - (Equation 3):     3x=30

                                                  x=10

Substituting x=10 into x+y=50:     10+y=50

                                                            y=40

Therefore, there are 10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions.


<h2><u>Check</u></h2>

Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 1:

LHS=5x+2y=5(10)+2(40)=50+80=130

RHS=130

LHS=RHS

Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 2:

LHS=x+y=10+40=50

RHS=50

LHS=RHS

Since in both cases the left-hand side is equal to the right-hand side, the answer is correct.

(LHS: left-hand side, RHS: right-hand side)

A lake has 10,000 fish.when a fishman scoops up his net ,he catches 500 fish. Suppose 150 of the 500 fish in his net are salmon.
Inessa [10]
You need x 20 to get to 10000, so do the same with 150 and get 3000, so it is 3000/10000
