Answer is D) 5 mc, 15 t&f
you have two unknown variables, thus you need two equations

definitions:
a = quantity of multiple choice questions
b = quantity of true and false questions

100 points = a*11 points/question + b*3 points/question
20 questions = a +b

using 2nd equation, find equation for 'a':
a = 20 - b

substitute this equation for 'a' into 1st equation:
100 = 11a + 3b
100 = 11(20 - b) + 3b
100 = 220 - 11b + 3b
100 - 220 = -8b
-120 = -8b
-120/-8 = b
15 = b

resolve 2nd equation now knowing value of 'b':
a = 20 - b
a = 20 - 15
a = 5

verify solution is correct by substituting values into first equation
11a + 3b = 100
11(5) + 3(15) = 100
55 + 45 = 100
100 = 100 [OK]

verify solution is correct by substituting values into second equation
a + b = 20
5 + 15 = 20
20 = 20 [OK]

Kate has a rectangular garden that is 8 feet long by 3 feet wide. She wishes to extend the length and width by the same amount i
elena55 [62]
<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
 The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
  Width =3+x
 Area = 104 ft squared
 Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
 Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
 x^2 +11x +24=104
 x^2 +11x +24-104=0
 x^2 +11x-80=0

 Factorize using splitting the middle term method. X^2 +16x-5x-80=0 x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0 (x-5)(x+16)=0 either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0 x=5 or x=-16 length and width measure cannot be negative. Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>

The dimensions of a rectangle can be given by x+9 and x-2. If the area is 60ft^2, what is the value of X?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 9) * (x - 2) = 60

x^2 - 2x + 9x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x - 18 = 60

x^2 + 7x = 78

FACTORING:

x(x + 7) = 78

x = 6
