A biology test is worth 100 points and has 36 questions.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions

(b) Your friend is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.

So:

$M + E= 36$ --- Number of questions

$2M + 6E = 100$ --- Points

Solving (a): Number of question of each type.

Make E the subject of formula in $M + E= 36$

$E = 36 - M$

Substitute 36 - M for E in $2M + 6E = 100$

$2M + 6(36 - M) = 100$

$2M + 216 - 6M = 100$

Collect Like Terms

$2M - 6M = 100 - 216$

$-4M = - 116$

Divide both sides by -4

$M = \frac{-116}{-4}$

$M = 29$

Substitute 29 for M in $E = 36 - M$

$E = 36 - 29$

$E = 7$

Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?

It is not possible.

See explanation.

If multiple question worth 4 points each, then

$2M + 6E = 100$ would be:

$4M + xE = 100$

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.

Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.

$4 * 29 + x * 7 = 100$

$116 + 7x = 100$

Subtract 116 from both sides

$116-116 + 7x = 100 -116$

$7x = 100-116$

$7x = -16$

Make x the subject

$x = -\frac{16}{7}$

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.

Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points

Your friend is incorrect.

QUICKKKK EXPERTS/ACE (and people that know it for sure comment) Brainiest Marked to the first correct answer

Olin [163]

I worked them out separately if I'm correct, then the order is:

x+5y=-2
x+5y=4 These are Inconsistent

y=3x+4
-2x+y=4 These are Consistent independent

3x+y=4
-6x-2y=-8 These are coincident

Inconsistent lines=No solution
Coincident lines=exactly on top of each other
Consistent Independant= Solution, as they cross each other.

~Hope this helps!

Find the value of 2cosx+1=0;0 less than x less than 360°

ohaa [14]

Answer:

120°; 240°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first solve for $cosx$ : $2cosx=-1 \rightarrow cosx=-\frac12$ At this point it's just a matter of drawing a circle, and mark where the angle is(please excuse my paint skills, but free hand drawing would be even worse). Red line, is $-\frac12$ on the cosines, and both the green and blue lines are valid solutions. The green line is a quarter of a circle, plus 30°, or 120°. The blue one is 3/4 of a circle, minus 30 degrees, or 240°.
