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.

Answer: The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of 3-point questions.

Let y represent the number of 5-point questions.

The maths test consists of 24 questions. This means that

x + y = 24

Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 and the test is worth 100 points. This means that

3x + 5y = 100 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 24 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(24 - y) + 5y = 100

72 - 3y + 5y = 100

- 3y + 5y = 100 - 72

2y = 28

y = 28/2 = 14

Substituting y = 14 into x = 24 - y , it becomes

x = 24 - 14 = 10

Javier's fuel tank holds 12 3/4 gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The tank can hold 12\frac{3}{4} gallons of gasoline when completely full. He had some gas in the tank and added 10.3 gallons of gasoline to fill it completely.

We need to find: How many gallons of gasoline were in the tank before Javier added some?

For this, we need to subtract added gallons of gasoline from the capacity of the tank.

12\frac{3}{4}-10.3=\frac{51}{4}-10.3

=12.75-10.3

=2.45

Hence, 2.45 gallons of gasoline were in the tank before.

1. What is the volume, in cubic centimeters, of the sphere shown below? Use 3.14<br> for Pi
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

113.04 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter = 6cm

so radius = 3cm

Volume of sphere = \frac{4}3}\pi r^3

= 4 * 3.14 * 3 * 3 *3 / 3

=  4 * 28.26

= 113.04 cm³

A similarity transformation maps `Delta`ABC to `Delta`JKL. The measure of `/_A` of preimage `Delta`ABC is 105°. The scale factor
RoseWind [281]

Please note that dilation does not affect angles. Thus, if an image is dilated the angle remains the same and does not change.

Therefore, even if \Delta ABC is dilated to \Delta JKL by a factor of 1.5 (or by any factor for that matter), the linear dimensions of the original triangle \Delta ABC will either get stretched or get shrunk by a factor of 1.5 but the angles of the original triangle will not be affected in any case.

Please note that this is true for all two dimensional geometric shapes.
