Answer:

65 two-point questions, and 5 four-point questions.

Emma answered 2 four-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assigning variables and writing equations

We will set the number of 2 point questions as "x" and number of 4 point questions as "y"

We know that:

x+y=70 (number of 2 point questions+number of 4 point questions=total number of questions)

2x+4y=150 (number of points that a two point question is worth*number of two point questions+number of points that a four point question is worth*number of four point questions=total points on test)

2. Combining equations

x+y=70, 2x+4y=150

We will solve one of these equations.

x+y=70

x=70-y

Next, we will substitute the other equation with this solution.

2*(70-y)+4y=150

140-2y+4y=150

2y=10

y=5

Use this solution to find x.

x+y=70

x+5=70

x=65

<em>We found that there are 65 two-point questions, and 5 four-point questions. </em>

3. Finding Emma's test results

In this case, we know how many two-point questions she answered. So, we will only be using one variable in this equation, which is y.

46*2+4y=100

92+4y=100

4y=8

y=2

<em>So, she answered 2 questions correctly. </em>

baherus [9]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4.8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jamal stands on a dock 1.5 meters above the surface of the water.

A trout swims 4.8 meters below Jamal.

The trout must be swimming below the surface of water.

Therefore the distance below the surface of water where the trout is swimming is 4.8 - 1.5 = 3.5 meters.

But the vertical distance between Jamal and the trout is 4.8 meters only.
