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.

The diameter of the Sun is about 1.4 x 106 km. The diameter of the planet
den301095 [7]

Answer:

1.17*10²

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of the sun is about 1.4 × 10⁶ km

1.4*10⁶ km = 1,400,000

Diameter of the planet venus is about 12000 km

12000 km = 1.2 × 10⁴

Ratio of the diameters

Sun : Venus

1.4 × 10⁶ km : 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 × 10⁶ km / 1.2 × 10⁴

1.4 / 1.2 × 10^6-4

1.166 × 10²

Approximately

1.17 × 10²
