Answer:there are 14 5point problems and 15 2point problems on the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents number of 5 point questions and y represents questions worth 2 points.

The total number of questions in the test is 29. It means that

x + y = 29

x = 29 - y

Mr. Martin’s math test is worth 100 points. It means that

5x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 29 - y into equation 1, it becomes

5(29 - y) + 2y = 100

145 - 5y + 2y = 100

- 5y + 2y = 100 - 145

- 3y = - 45

y = - 45/-3

y = 15

x = 29 - y = 29 - 15

x = 14

Need help pleaseI was bad at math in school so lwant to learn

The probability of an event is expressed as

Pr(\text{event) =}\frac{Total\text{ number of favourable/desired outcome}}{Tota\text{l number of possible outcome}}

Given:

\begin{gathered} \text{Red}\Rightarrow2 \\ \text{Green}\Rightarrow3 \\ \text{Blue}\Rightarrow2 \\ \Rightarrow Total\text{ number of balls = 2+3+2=7 balls} \end{gathered}

The probability of drwing two blue balls one after the other is expressed as

Pr(\text{blue)}\times Pr(blue)

For the first draw:

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue) = }\frac{number\text{ of blue balls}}{total\text{ number of balls}} \\ =\frac{2}{7} \end{gathered}

For the second draw, we have only 1 blue ball left out of a total of 6 balls (since a blue ball with drawn earlier).

Thus,

\begin{gathered} Pr(\text{blue)}=\frac{number\text{ of blue balls left}}{total\text{ number of balls left}} \\ =\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}

The probability of drawing two blue balls one after the other is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{6}\times\frac{2}{7} \\ =\frac{1}{21} \end{gathered}

The probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\begin{gathered} 1-\frac{1}{21} \\ =\frac{20}{21} \end{gathered}

Hence, the probablity that none of the balls drawn is blue is evaluted as

\frac{20}{21}
