Answer:

Respondió mal 64 preguntas.

Step-by-step explanation:

De acuerdo a la información proporcionada puedes plantear las siguientes ecuaciones:

x+y=120 (1)

2x-0,5y=80 (2)

x es el número de preguntas correctas

y es el numero de preguntas incorrectas

Primero debes despejar "x" en (1):

x=120-y (3)

Después, debes reemplazar (3) en (2):

2(120-y)-0,5y=80

240-2y-0,5y=80

240-80=2,5y

160=2,5y

y=160/2,5

y=64

Ahora puedes reemplazar el valor de "y" en (3) para encontrar el valor de "x":

x=120-y

x=120-64

x=56

De acuerdo a esto, la respuesta es que el postulante respondió mal 64 preguntas.

Is 2cosx=cos2x ?<br>i have misinterrupted​
faltersainse [42]

no it isn't. 2cos(x) is 2 multiplied by cos(x), cos (2x) is cos(2 multiplied by x) meaning 2x is the angle you're taking the cosine of. if you want to know what cos(2x) look up the double angle rule.
