Answer:

14 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points

14 x 5 = 70

15 x 2=  30

70 + 30= 100

14+15 = 29   5 x 14 + 2 x 15=100

Answer:

Option 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.

Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems.

x+y=29               .... (1)

5x+2y=100         ..... (2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2.

2x+2y=58         .... (3)

Subtract equation (3) from equation (2), to eliminate the variable y.

5x+2y-(2x+2y)=100-58

5x+2y-2x-2y=42

Combined like terms.

(5x-2x)+(2y-2y)=42

3x=42

Divide both sides by 3.

x=14

The value of x is 14.

Substitute x=14 in equation (1).

14+y=29

Subtract 14 from both sides.

y=29-14

y=15

The value of y is 15.

It means 14 problems worth 5 points and 15 problems worth 2 points.

Therefore, the correct option is 2.

Can somebody help me in this question? It would be very appreciated! :)

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a rectangle is calculated as

A = width × length

let width be w then length is 2w + 3 ( 3 more than twice the width ), then

A = w(2w + 3) ← distribute

   = 2w² + 3w

When w = 4 , then

A = 2(4)² + 3(4)

   = 2(16) + 12

    = 32 + 12

     = 44 ft²

What is the completely factored form of f(x)=x3+5x2+4x−6?
Gre4nikov [31]
f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6
f(-3)=(-3)^3+5(-3)^2+4(-3)-6=0\implies x+3\text{ is a factor of }f(x)

Synthetic division yields

-3  |  1   5   4   -6
.    |      -3  -6    6
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
.    |  1   2  -2    0

which translates to

\dfrac{x^3+5x^2+4x-6}{x+3}=x^2+2x-2

with remainder 0. Now by the quadratic formula,

x^2+2x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{2^2-4(1)(-2)}}2=-1\pm\sqrt3

and so

f(x)=x^3+5x^2+4x-6=(x+3)(x-(-1+\sqrt3))(x-(-1-\sqrt3))

The circle given by
mixer [17]
Typically, the equation of a circle is given like this: (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2, where r is the radius of the circle and the point (h,k) is the center. To find the value k, you need to put the first equation you have into this form. Standard form requires that you only have the1 y variable, as seen in the parentheses, so you first need to complete the square.

x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 11
x^2 + y^2 - 2y +1 = 11 + 1
x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 12

And that puts the equation in standard form. k = 1.
