You can solve this problem by creating a system of equations and solving by substitution. This allows you to solve for one of the unknown values (in this case, the number of short answer and number of multiple choice) and you can then solve for both, if you would like.

The two variables in your equations standing in for these missing values represent the number of short answer (s) and the number of multiple choice questions (m).

First create an equation for the number of total questions on the test. The total number of multiple choice and short answer questions is 45:
m + s = 45
Then create an equation with these variables representing the number of points on the test. The point values for each question will be the variable coefficients (numbers that the variables are multiplied by in this problem).
2m + 5s = 120

Now you can take the first equation - since it is simpler, the variables don't have coefficients so it only requires subtraction to get one variable by itself - solve for one of the variables, and substitute the result into the second equation in place of that variable. You will then be able to solve for that variable!

First, solve for m in the first equation by moving the m to one side of the equals sign by itself. It then becomes 45 - s = m

Now put (45-s) into the second equation in place of m.

120 = 2(45-s) + 5s

Distribute the 2(45-s)

120 = 90 - 2s + 5s

Add the "s" expressions together. Subtract 90 from both sides.

30 = 3s

Divide by 3 and find that s = 10

There are 10 short answer questions on the test.

The volume inside of a sphere is V=4πr33 where r is the radius of the sphere. Your group has been asked to rearrange the formula
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of inside of the sphere is given as

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

where r is the radius of the sphere

To Find:

r =?

Solution:

We have

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}   ......Given

3\times V=4\pi r^{3} \\\\\therefore r^{3}=\frac{3V}{4\pi } \\\\\therefore r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }} \textrm{which is the expression for r}

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

Ken wants to buy some coffee mugs, m , that cost $5 each and some ground coffee, C, that costs $8 a pound. He has $25.
ValentinkaMS [17]

The inequality representation of the scenario is :

  • 5m + 8c ≤ 25
  • m = 1 and c = 1

  • Number of mugs = m
  • Cost per mug = $5
  • Number of ground coffee = c
  • Cost per ground coffee = $8
  • Total amount to spend = $25

  • (Number of mug × cost per mug) + (Number of ground coffee × cost of ground coffee) ≤total amount to spend

  • Representing as an inequality : 5m + 8c ≤ 25

Combination of m and c that makes the inequality true :

  • Using trial by error :
  • m = 1 and c = 1
  • 5(1) + 8(1) ≤ 25 ; 13 ≤ 25

Hence, m = 1 and c =1 are valid values for the expression.
