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! :)

Armando got a job selling bags of peanuts at the local art festival. He is paid a fixed amount of $320 per
skelet666 [1.2K]

0.67n + 320

=(0.67 * 430) + 320

= 288.1 + 320

= $608.1

0.67n + 320 = 728.70

0.67n = 728.70 - 320

0.67n = 408.7

n = 408.7 / 0.67

n = 610 Bags of peanuts

Equation: -5 3/4- 3 1/2 Please help meh. ​
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

-9\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

-5\frac{3}{4}-3\frac{1}{2}

Step 1: Factor out the common term -1

=-\left(5\frac{3}{4}+3\frac{1}{2}\right)

Step 2: Add the whole numbers

5 + 3 = 8

Step 3: Combine the fractions:

\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4}\\\\=-\left(8+\frac{5}{4}\right)

Step 4: Convert the improper fractions to mixed numbers

\frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4}\\\\=-\left(8+1\frac{1}{4}\right)

Step 5: Add the numbers

8 + 1 =9 \\\\=-9\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, the answer to the equation is -9\frac{1}{4} in fraction, and decimal; 9.25
