The inequality that represents the number of right answers (r) and wrong answers (w) Olga can give to win the contest is:
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
Number of right answers is and number of wrong answers is
Olga earns 12 points for each right answer and loses 4 points for each wrong answer.
So, total points earned for right answers
and total points lost for wrong answers
That means, <u>her score will be</u>: points.
In order to win the quiz contest, Olga must score <u>more than 400 points</u>. So, the inequality will be.......
Answer:
I think this is a pretty good question of law of indices
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
a) express n in terms of p and q ,
b) hence if p = 1 and q = 2 find the value of n
Solution to part a)
Simplify the equation and how do we do that? As we can see that 9 can also be written as 3^2 and 27 can be written as 3^3 we can rewrite the following equation like this,
now we multiply p with 2 and
multiply q with 3 respectively,
now since the bases are same and are multiplying the exponents will add themselves like this, in this equation the number 3 is the base
now since the bases on the left hand side and on the right hand side are equal the exponents will also be equal so now,
hence n is expressed in terms of p and q
Solution to part b)
if p = 1 and q = 2 we plug in these values in the above equation we found for n
n = 2p + 3q
n = 2(1) + 3(2)
n = 2 + 6
n = 7
