Mr. Martin’s math test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points. Let x be

the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points. x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100

Answer:

The number of questions worth 5 points is 14 and the number of questions worth 2 points is 15. 70 points can be gained from the 5 point questions and 30 points can be gained from the 2 point questions making a total of 100 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we have to solve for x and y. We are given two equations.

<em>x + y = 29</em>

<em>5x + 2y = 100</em>

Let's find the value of x first. We can rearrange the first equation so it'll be easier to find the value of x using the second equation.

<em>x + y = 29 → y = -x + 29</em>

Now, let's plug in this equation into the second equation.

<em>5x + 2(-x + 29) = 100</em>

Distribute 2 to (-x + 29)

<em>5x - 2x + 58 = 100</em>

Combine like terms.

<em>3x + 58 = 100</em>

Subtract 58 from 100.

<em>3x = 42</em>

Divide by 3 on both sides.

<em>x = 14 </em>

<u>So, the value of x is 14.</u>

Now, let's find the value of y. We can do this by plugging in our x into the first equation.

<em>14 + y = 29 </em>

Subtract 14 from 29.

<em>y = 15 </em>

<u>So, the value of y is 15.</u>

Construct three parallel lines. Then construct two arbitrary non parallel transversal of the parallel lines. Make sure that the
zzz [600]

The image lines constructed are called parallel lines. They are parallel because  they are all equidistant to each other at every point and at no point between any of the lines will there be an intersection of the three lines.

<h3>What does it mean for two or more lines to be equidistant from each other?</h3>

Equidistance is simply another word for equal in distance. That is, parallel lines maintain equal distance from each other at all points along them.

See the attached construction as well as more insights about parallel lines from the link below.
