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.

Solve inequality for x -4(2x+4)>8x+64
Mkey [24]

Answer:

x< - \frac{16}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

x 8x_16>8x+64

Add similar elemants:x - 8x= -7x

-7x - 16 > 8x + 64

Add 16 to both sides

-7x- 16 + 16 > 8x + 64 + 16

Simplify

- 7x > 8x + 80

Subtract 8x from both sides

-7x - 8x > 8x + 80 - 8x

Simplify

-15x > 80

Multiply both sides by - 1 ( reverse the inequality)

(-15x) ( - 1) < 80 ( - 1 )

simplify

\frac{15x}{15} < \frac{-80}{15}
