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.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the proof. Given that w ∥ x and y is a transversal, we know that ∠1 ≅∠5 by the . Therefore,
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

From the graph attached, we know that \angle 1 \cong \angle 5 by the corresponding angle theorem, this theorem is about all angles that derive form the intersection of one transversal line with a pair of parallels. Specifically, corresponding angles are those which are placed at the same side of the transversal, one interior to parallels, one exterior to parallels, like \angle 1 and \angle 5.

We also know that, by definition of linear pair postulate, \angle 3 and \angle 1 are linear pair. Linear pair postulate is a math concept that defines two angles that are adjacent and for a straight angle, which is equal to 180°.

They are supplementary by the definition of supplementary angles. This definition states that angles which sum 180° are supplementary, and we found that \angle 3 and \angle 1 together are 180°, because they are on a straight angle. That is, m \angle 3 + m \angle 1 = 180\°

If we substitute \angle 5 for \angle 1, we have m \angle 3 + m \angle 5 = 180\°, which means that \angle 3 and \angle 5 are also supplementary by definition.
