A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

We can solve this system using elimination:

(x+y=24)3
3x+5y=100

3x+3y=72
-(3x+5y=100)
0x-2y=-28
y=14

We can then plug this back into one of the original equations:

x+14=24
x=10

We can check our answer by plugging this into both of the original equations:

10+14=24
24=24

3(10) + 5(14)=100
30+70=100
100=100

Therefore, there are 10 3-point questions and 14 5-point questions.

A weather plane took to the skies to measure the speed of the jet stream. The plane flew 1920 km with the jet stream as a tail w
Alex
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables:
 p: plane speed
 w: wind speed
 With the wind in favor, the speed is:
 p + w = 1920/2

 With the wind against the speed is:
 p - w = 1920 / 3.2

 Rewriting both equations, we have the following system of equations:
 p + w = 960

p - w = 600
 Then, solving the system of equations (graphically for example), we have the solution is: 
 p = 780

w = 180
 Therefore, jet stream's speed:
 w = 180 km / h

 Answer:
 
A) p + w = 960; p - w = 600; jet stream's speed = 180 km / h

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7)?
Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)
