Answer: The two point questions are 45, while the four point questions are 5.

Step-by-step explanation: We shall start by assigning letters to the unknown variables. Let the first type of question be called a and the second type of question be called b.

If the final exam is made up of 50 questions, that means

a + b = 50

Also if some questions are two points while others are four points and the total score for all of them is 110 points, then

2a + 4b = 110

(That is, we assume that a is the two point question and b is the four point question, so total score equals 110)

We now have a pair of simultaneous equations

a + b = 50 ————(1)

2a + 4b = 110 ——-(2)

From equation (1), we shall make a the subject of the equation,

hence let a = 50 - b

Substitute for the value of a in equation (2)

2a + 4b = 110

2(50 - b) + 4b = 110

100 - 2b + 4b = 110

By collecting like terms we now have

4b - 2b = 110 - 100

2b = 10

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

b = 5

Now substitute for the value of b into equation (1)

a + b = 50

a + 5 = 50

Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

a = 45.

Therefore the two point questions are 45, while the four point questions are 5

**A quick check would show the following results ; 2(45) + 4(5) = 90 + 20 = 110.**

Suzie is making granola. she uses almonds,walnuts, and pecans in the ratio of 4:2:5. lilly uses 50 ounces of walnuts. (
patriot [66]
The weight of the almonds would be 100 ounces and the total weight of the granola would be 275 ounces since 50 / 2 = 25 to find out what to multiply the other ones by so you do 4 x 25 = 100 then 5 x 25 = 125 finally add all of it together 125 + 100 + 50 = 275 ounces.

On an algebra test , the highest grade was 50 points higher than the lowest the sum of the two grades was 122 find the lowest gr
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Highest grade: 86

Lowest grade: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the highest grade be h, lowest grade be l.

h = 50 + l  \\  \\ h + l = 122 \\ h = 122 - l \\  \\

Therefore,

122 - l \:  = 50 + l \\ 2l \:  = 72 \\ l = 36 \\  \\ h = 36 + 50 = 86

Write linear function f with the values f (0) = 6 and f(7) = 27
Bond [772]

Answer:

f(x) = 3x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(7) - f(0) = 27 - 6 = 21

so we may write a function:

f(x) = 3x + 6.
