Answer:

20 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Correct \Marks= +5

Incorrect\ Marks= -2

Score\ Obtained = 30

Number\ of\ correct\ answers = 10

Required

Number of questions answered

First, we need to get the total correct marks obtained by Roy

This is calculated by multiplying the correct marks by number of correct answers

Total = +5 * 10

Total = +50\ marks

Subtract this from the total scores obtained; This gives the total incorrect answer obtained by Roy

Incorrect = Scores\ Obtained - Total

Incorrect = 30 - (+50)

Open bracket

Incorrect = 30 - 50

Incorrect = -20

Divide this by -2 to get the number of incorrect answers

Incorrect\ Answers = \frac{-20}{-2}

Incorrect\ Answers = 10

Add this to the number of correct answers to give the total number of question answered

Total = Correct\ Answers + Incorrect\ Answers

Total = 10 + 10

Total = 20

<em>Hence, Roy answered a total of 20 questions</em>

How to solve for 6x-12+2x=3+8x-15
Alecsey [184]
6x−12+2x=3+8x−15

Simplify:

6x+−12+2x=3+8x+−15

(6x+2x)+(−12)=(8x)+(3+−15)(Combine Like Terms)

8x+−12=8x+−12


8x−12=8x−12

Subtract 8x from both sides.

8x−12−8x=8x−12−8x

−12=−12

Add 12 to both sides.

−12+12=−12+12

0=0

The real numbers are the only solution we can have.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

the answer is c)

What is the lcd of this please help
Greeley [361]
LCD is least common denominator. So looking at the denominators, their factors are...
First term x^2 - 5x + 4 = (x - )( x - ). We know this because the 4 (c term)is + so both signs are the same, and both are NEGATIVE because 5 (b term) is -
= (x - 4)(x - 1) because(-1)(-4) = 4 (c term) and -1 + -4 = -5 (b term)

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 72 let ex represent the first integer X plus to represent the second integer and X
enot [183]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the 3 consecutive even integers are x , x + 2 and x + 4 , then their sum is

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 72 , that is

3x + 6 = 72 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3x = 66 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 22

x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24

x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26

the 3 consecutive even integers are 22, 24 , 26
