5/2=2 1/2 + 2/5 = 2.9 = 2 9/10
Answer:
Sam made a mistake, and their correct value is 30.
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance: use absolute value
Between x and 8: x-8
The distance between x and 8: | x-8 |
“is no more than” means it can be that or be less than that, so use ≤
The distance between x and 8 is no more than 4
| x-8 | ≤ 4
<span>10p+5=18p-6/2
10p + 5 = 18p -3
10p - 18 p = -3 -5
-8p = -8
p = -8/-8
p =1</span>
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.
