Step-by-step explanation:
x = devaughn age
y = sydney age
x = y - 9
x + y = 61
y-9 + y = 61
2y= 61+9
2y = 70
y = 35
x = 35 - 9 = 26
check
35 + 26 = 61
35- 26 = 9
Hope this helps!
A + b = 6
a - b = 4
We substract those equations, we get:
2b = 2 (dividing both sides with 2)
b = 1
a = b + 4 (look at second aquations)
= 1 + 4
= 5
They are both wrong because 84*5 equals 420 times 657 equals 275940 and84 plus 573 plus 9 is 666
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let e represent the number of students with blue eyes. Then the number of students with blond hair is 2e. The total number of students is ...
3 + e + 2e -6 = 30
We subtracted 6 because the expressions e and 2e cause the 6 students with both blond hair and blue eyes to be counted twice.
3e = 33 . . . . add 3 and simplify
e = 11
11 students have blue eyes.
Answer:
Andrew's test score if he got 8 questions wrong = 64 points
Andrew's test score if he got x questions wrong = 80 - 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Total points of the multiple choice test = 80
Each question = 2 points
Total questions = Total points of the multiple choice test / 2 points
= 80/2
= 40
Total questions = 40
A. What would be Andrew's test score (out of 80) if he got 8 questions wrong
If he got 8 questions wrong out of 40 questions
= Total question points - wrong question points
= 40*2 - 8*2
= 80 - 16
= 64 points
Andrew's test score if he got 8 questions wrong = 64 points
B. What would be his score if he got x questions wrong?
Test points if he got x questions wrong = Total question points - wrong question points
= (40 * 2) - (x * 2)
= 80 - 2x
Andrew's test score if he got x questions wrong = 80 - 2x
