The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

Answer:
-0.38%
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 31 by 50. 31 / 50 = 0.62.
1 - 0.62 = 0.38
Since it is a decrease in change the percent change is negative.
-0.38%
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The x difference:
8 - 1 = 7
The y difference:
-4 - -7 = 3
Distance:
7² + 3² = 58
√58 ≅ 7.62
