Answer:
Option D.) x + 2x − 3 = 26
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the length of Nate's car
y ------> the length of Maya's car
we know that
x+y=26 -----> equation A
y=2x-3 ----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x
x+(2x-3)=26
3x=26+3
x=29/3 in
Find the value of y
y=2(29/3)-3
y=(58/3)-3
y= 49/3 in
Answer:
12 correct answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Since in the main part she scores 8.3 points for each question she answers correctly, we can assume that the number of questions she answers correctly=a
Therefor, the total number of points she achieved in the math test in the main part alone can be expressed as:
Total score(main part)=8.3×a=8.3a points
She also solved a bonus question worth=11 points
Consider expression 1 below
The total score in the whole test=Total score in the main part+Bonus points, where;
Total score in the whole test=110.6 points
Total score in the main part=8.3a points
Bonus points=11 points
Substituting the values in expression 1:
8.3a+11=110.6
8.3a=110.6-11
8.3a/8.3=99.6/8.3
a=12
Number of correct answers in the main part=a=12
