Answer:
(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions
(b) Your friend is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.
So:
--- Number of questions
--- Points
Solving (a): Number of question of each type.
Make E the subject of formula in 

Substitute 36 - M for E in 


Collect Like Terms


Divide both sides by -4


Substitute 29 for M in 


Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?
It is not possible.
See explanation.
If multiple question worth 4 points each, then
would be:

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.
Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.


Subtract 116 from both sides



Make x the subject

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.
Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points
<em>Your friend is incorrect.</em>

Answer:
plastic = 45
metal = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the volume of the aquarium is 20m^3.
Volume = Area of Base x height
Area of Base = Volume / height = 20/h
Given that the aquarium has a square base.
Area of square = l^2
Thus, the length of the base of the aquarium is

The frame is to cover 8 sides with the length equal to the length of the base and 4 sides with the length of the height.
Thus, the total perimeter of the frame is given by

Area of the four side faces of the aquarium is 4 times the length of the base times the height =

Total area to be covered by grass is the base and the four side faces and is given by

Cost of the entire metal frame =

Cost of the entire grass =

Therefore, total cost in terms of the height, h, is given by
To find the different ways to display the boxes, you will find all the different ways you can make an array of 12.
12 x 1 and 1 x 12
2 x 6 and 6 x 2
