Answer:

School A gave 12 correct and 12 incorrect answers. School B gave 12 correct answers and the competition was tied.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

School A points = 174

School B points = 102

Every correct answer is awarded 10 points and every incorrect answer reduces 6 points.

Let x be the number of correct answer given by school A and thus x is the number of  incorrect answer given by school A. The, school B also gives x number of correct answer.

Thus, the scored can be modeled with the following equations:

School A: 174 + 10x - 6x = 174 + 4x

School  B: 102 + 10x

Since, both the schools tied, equating both the equations:

174 + 4x = 102 + 10x\\\Rightarrow 10x - 4x = 174 -102\\\Rightarrow 6x = 72\\\Rightarrow x= 12

Thus, school A gave 12 correct and 12 incorrect answers. School B gave 12 correct answers and the competition was tied.

Which 2 teams scored a total of 100 points, red has 29 points, yellow has 38 points, Green has 41 points, blue has 76 points ora
Bess [88]

Answer:

Blue and Black

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! i think you're asking which of the 2 teams' points added together equal 100. if so, it would be blue and black because 76 + 24 = 100.

broken down: 70 + 20 = 90, 6 + 4 = 10, 90 + 10 = 100 :)

hope i understood this right!

The longest side of a triangle is 5 inches longer than the shortest side. The medium side is 2 inches longer than the shortest s
Rom4ik [11]
If we refer to the longest side as x and the shortest side as y and the medium side as z then we come up with this formation:

x+y+z= 22

y is shorter than x by 5 inches so y= x-5

z is longer than y by 2 inches therefore z= x-5 +2

therefore:
x+(x-5)+(x-5+2)=22
x+x-5+x-5+2=22
3x-8=22
3x= 22-8
3x=14
x=
\frac{14}{3}

replace x in y and z in previous formations

Are these parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
Elina [12.6K]
Answer: I think it’s neither

Explanation:

The line is parallel unless the slope is the same and with a different y-intercept

The line are perpendicular unless the one of the slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.

And both equation didn’t meet any of the requirement.
