3 0

Answer:

The player answer correctly 30 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to develop the information that gives us as 2 equations

x = correct answer

y = incorrect answer

z = score = 40

h = total answer = 50

2x - y = z               x + y = h

2x - y = 40             x + y = 50

we clear the x of one equation and replace the value of x in the other equation

x = 50 - y

2x - y = 40

2(50 - y) - y = 40

100 - 2y - y = 40

-3y = 40 -100

y = -60/-3

y = 20

x = 50 - y

x = 50 - 20

x = 30

If u would tell me this answer UR SOOOO NICE
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Because since it tells you that x>7 and also it tells you if 7.1 is a solution. So what you need to do is plug in 7.1 instead of x and see if it's true or not. So is 7.1 greater than 7. Well yes it is and that makes it a solution. Hope this helps. Ask me any question if you need help with anything else. :)

Ian has 20 football cards, and Jason has 44 baseball cards. They agree to trade such that jason
Alina [70]

Answer:

12 trades

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call 'x' the number of trades they will do.

After each trade, the number of cards Ian has increase by 1 (he gives 1 but receives 2), and the number of cards Jason has decrease by 1 (he receives 1 but gives 2), so after x trades, the number of cards Ian has is 20 + x, and Jason has 44 - x.

To find the number of trades when they will have the same amount of cards, we have that:

20 + x = 44 - x

2x = 24

x = 12 trades
