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>
Answer:
<em>XY = 92 units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Similar Shapes</u>
Two shapes are similar if all their corresponding side measures are in the same proportion.
The triangles UVW and YVX are similar because their side lengths are in the proportion 1:2, given the tick marks provided in the drawing.
This means that the measure of VX is twice the measure of VW,
The measure of YV is twice the measure of UV
The measure of XY is twice the measure of UW
This last proportion gives the equation:
z + 46 = 2z
Solving for z:
z = 46
Thus, XY = z+46 = 92
XY = 92 units
4(r)^x=y
4(r)^(1)=2
r=1/2
y=4*(1/2)^x
