A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

X= # 3-point questions
y= # 5-point questions


QUANTITY EQUATION:
x + y= 24

VALUE EQUATION:
3x + 5y= 100

If we solved these two equations by elimination or substitution, we find x and y. I'm going to solve by elimination.


STEP 1:
multiply the quantity equation by -3 to eliminate the x variable and solve for y.

-3(x + y)= -3(24)
-3x - 3y= -72


STEP 2:
add the value equation and the step 1 equation together to eliminate the x term and solve for y.

3x + 5y= 100
-3x - 3y= -72
the x term is eliminated

2y= 28
divide both sides by 2

y= 14 5-point questions


STEP 3:
substitute the y value into either original equation

x + y= 24

x + 14= 24
subtract both sides by 14

x= 10 3-point questions



ANSWER: The test contains 10 3-point questions and 14 5-point questions.

Hope this helps! :)

What conclusions can you draw from the distances that you recorded in question 7
mezya [45]

Answer:

If corresponding vertices on an image and a preimage are connected with line segments, the line segments are divided equally by the line of reflection. That is, the perpendicular distance from the line of reflection to either of the corresponding vertices is the same. Line  is a perpendicular bisector of the connecting line segments.

Giving 100 points.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

1.   <u>Cost per customer</u>:  10 + x

     <u>Average number of customers</u>:  16 - 2x

\textsf{2.} \quad  -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130

3.    $10, $11, $12 and $13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given information</u>:

  • $10 = cost of buffet per customer
  • 16 customers choose the buffet per hour
  • Every $1 increase in the cost of the buffet = loss of 2 customers per hour
  • $130 = minimum revenue needed per hour

Let x = the number of $1 increases in the cost of the buffet

<u>Part 1</u>

<u></u>

<u>Cost per customer</u>:  10 + x

<u>Average number of customers</u>:  16 - 2x

<u>Part 2</u>

The cost per customer multiplied by the number of customers needs to be <u>at least</u> $130.  Therefore, we can use the expressions found in part 1 to write the <u>inequality</u>:

(10 + x)(16 - 2x)\geq  130

\implies 160-20x+16x-2x^2\geq 130

\implies -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130

<u>Part 3</u>

To determine the possible buffet prices that Noah could charge and still maintain the restaurant owner's revenue requirements, solve the inequality:

\implies -2x^2-4x+160\geq 130

\implies -2x^2-4x+30\geq 0

\implies -2(x^2+2x-15)\geq 0

\implies x^2+2x-15\leq  0

\implies (x-3)(x+5)\leq  0

Find the roots by equating to zero:

\implies (x-3)(x+5)=0

x-3=0 \implies x=3

x+5=0 \implies x=-5

Therefore, the roots are x = 3 and x = -5.

<u>Test the roots</u> by choosing a value between the roots and substituting it into the original inequality:

\textsf{At }x=2: \quad -2(2)^2-4(2)+160=144

As 144 ≥ 130, the <u>solution</u> to the inequality is <u>between the roots</u>:  

-5 ≤ x ≤ 3

To find the range of possible buffet prices Noah could charge and still maintain a minimum revenue of $130, substitute x = 0 and x = 3 into the expression for "cost per customer.  

[Please note that we cannot use the negative values of the possible values of x since the question only tells us information about the change in average customers per hour considering an <em>increase </em>in cost.  It does not confirm that if the cost is reduced (less than $10) the number of customers <em>increases </em>per hour.]

<u>Cost per customer</u>:  

x =0 \implies 10 + 0=\$10

x=3 \implies 10+3=\$13

Therefore, the possible buffet prices Noah could charge are:

$10, $11, $12 and $13.
