x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

<em><u>Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions</u></em>

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

<em><u>The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100</u></em>

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

x \times 5 + y \times 10=100

5x + 10y = 100 ------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 are the system of equations that represent this situation

just olya [345]

Answer:5x+3y+1=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The linear equation is 5x+3y-9=0

The other linear equation parallel to the given line can be represented by

5x+3y+c=0

Here, c can take any value . for example c=1, line becomes

\Rightarrow 5x+3y+1=0

Given the functions f(x) = 2x -1 and g(x) =
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • f(x) = 2x - 1
  • g(x) =  2 - x

a)

f(x) + g(x) = (2x - 1) + (2 - x)

                = 2x -1 + 2 - x

                = x + 1

b)

f(x) - g(x) = (2x - 1) - (2 - x)

              = 2x - 1 - 2 + x

               = 3x - 3

c)

g(-5) - f(-5)

Putting x = -5 in g(x) = 2 - x

g(x) = 2 - x

g(-5) = 2 - (-5) = 2+5 = 7

Putting x = -5 in f(x) = 2x - 1

f(x) = 2x - 1

f(-5) = 2(-5) - 1

       = -10 - 1

        = -11

Thus,

g(-5) - f(-5) = 7 - (-11) = 7+11 = 18

d)

f(x).g(x) = (2x - 1) (2 - x) = -2x² + 5x - 2

e)

f(g(x)) = f(2-x)

          = 2(2-x)-1

          = 4-2x-1

          = 3-2x

What is 2/3 Time 2/3
klasskru [66]

Answer:

\frac{4}{9}  

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{2}{3} * \frac{2}{3}

you multiply across, so you do 2*2 for the numerator, then 3*3 for the denominator. This would equal 4 as the numerator, 9 as the denominator,  which is \frac{4}{9}
