Answer:
if this an exponential question, my calculator popped up with error.
Step-by-step explanation:
Y = 5x - 1...so we sub 5x - 1 in for y in the other equation
-15x - 3y = 3
-15x - 3(5x - 1) = 3
-15x - 15x + 3 = 3
-30x = 3 - 3
-30x = 0
x = 0
y = 5x - 1
y = 5(0) - 1
y = -1
it has one solution (0,-1) <=
First we define the variables:
m = multiple choice questions
s = short answer questions
Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:
1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:
2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:
By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!
