9x-(2x+8)
Distribute the - to both 2x and 8
9x-2x-8
simplify
7x-8
Answer:
y= 3x-17
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding a parallel equation to y=mx+b, mx will always stay the same. So we have to find b.
In order to do this you plug the parallel lines passing point into the equation.
-5(y) goes into the y's spot. 4(x) goes into the x's spot.
-5 = 3 x 4 + b
-5 = 12 + b
-5 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b
-17 = b
y=3x-17
Answer:
(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions
(b) Your friend is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.
So:
--- Number of questions
--- Points
Solving (a): Number of question of each type.
Make E the subject of formula in 

Substitute 36 - M for E in 


Collect Like Terms


Divide both sides by -4


Substitute 29 for M in 


Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?
It is not possible.
See explanation.
If multiple question worth 4 points each, then
would be:

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.
Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.


Subtract 116 from both sides



Make x the subject

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.
Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points
<em>Your friend is incorrect.</em>
