Answer:

14.  x=-2.5,  y = -7

15.  x=28  y = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

14.  Let's solve this system by elimination.  Multiply the first equation by -1.

-1*(4x-y)= -1*(- 3)

-4x +y = 3

Then add this to the second equation.

-4x+y = 3

6x-y= - 8

--------------

2x   = -5


Divide each side by 2

x = -2.5

We still need to find y

-4x+y =3

-4(-2.5) + y =3

10 +y =3

Subtract 10 from each side.

y = 3-10

y = -7


15.I will again use elimination to solve this system, because using substitution will give me fractions which are harder to work with.   I will elimiate the y variable.  Multiply the first equation by 11

11( 5x+6y)= 11*20

55x+66y = 220

Multiply the second equation by -6

-6(9x+11y)=32*(-6)

-54x-66y = -192


Add the modified equations together.

55x+66y = 220

-54x-66y = -192

---------------------------

x = 28

We still need to solve for y

5x+6y = 20

5*28 + 6y =20

140 + 6y = 20

Subtract 140 from each side

6y = -120

Divide by 6

y = -20

Number of questions worth 2 points = 25

Further explanation:

The given system is a system of linear equations in two variables.

We will use the subsitution method to solve the system

Given equations are:

x+y=35\\5x+2y=100

From equation no 1:

x+y=35\\x=35-y

Putting x=35-y in second equation

5x+2y=100\\5(35-y)+2y=100\\175-5y+2y=100\\-3y=100-175\\-3y=-75\\\frac{-3y}{-3}=\frac{-75}{-3}\\y=25\\Putting y=25 in first equation\\x+25=35\\x= 35-25\\x=10

Hence,

Number of questions worth 2 points = 25

Use the table to write a proportion
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

n = 17

\frac{n}{85}= \frac{34}{170}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{n}{85}= \frac{34}{170}

n · 170 = 34 · 85

170y = 2890

170y ÷ 170 = 2890 ÷ 170

y = 17
