Answer:
5x - 2y = 30
x + y = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of correct answers = x
Number of incorrect answers = y
Points won per correct answer = 5
Points lost per incorrect answer = 2
If Reggie received 30 points :
Required equation :
(points won per correct answer * number of correct answers) + (points lost per incorrect answer * number of incorrect answers)
5x + (-2y) = 30
5x - 2y = 30
Equation showing that Reggie answer all 35 questions :
Number of correct answers + number of incorrect answers = 35
x + y = 35
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the container that the gardener has = 6 1/5 pounds
= 31/5 pounds
We already know that 1 pound = 16 ounce
Then
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer in the
container that the gardener has = (31/5) * 16 ounce
= 496/5 pounds
Amount of liquid plant fertilizer that the gardener uses on Sunday = 2 1/2 ounces
= 5/2 ounces
Then
The amount of liquid plant fertilizer that are left= (496/5) - (5/2) ounces
= (992 - 25)/10 ounces
= 967/10 ounces
= 96.7 ounces
So the total amount of liquid plant fertilizer left is 96.7 ounces.
