A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation. x + y = 24 3x + 5y = 100 What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test? The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

X+y=24 so we can say

x=24-y making 3x+5y=100 become

3(24-y)+5y=100

72-3y+5y=100

72+2y=100

2y=28

y=14, since x=24-y

x=10

So there are 10 3-point questions and 14 5-point questions.

Answer:

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points

System of equations: x+y=24  --a

                                   3x+5y=100 --b

Where x denotes x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions

Now solve equation a and b by substitution method

Substitute the value of x from a in b

⇒3(24-y)+5y=100

⇒72-3y+5y=100

⇒72+2y=100

⇒2y=28

⇒y=\frac{28}{2}

⇒y=14

Substitute the value of y in equation a to get the value of x

x+14=24

x=10

Thus 10 is the number of 3-point questions.

14  is the number of 5-point questions.

Thus Option 2 is correct.

The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Contains the x intercept of 4x-y=8 and the point (-4,3)
nydimaria [60]
<span>1.       </span><span>4x –y = 8, the point (-4, 3)
Let’s say y = 0
=> 4x – 8
=> 4x / 4 = 8 /4
=> x = 2
So the point is (2 , 0).
Now, we have 2 forms, the (2,0) and the (-4, 3)
=> (y2 – y1)(x2 – x1) = m
=> m = (0 - 3)(2-(-4))
=> m = (0 - 3)(2+4)
=>  m = (-3)(6)
=> m = -1/2
Thus,
y = -1/2x + a
=> 0 = -1 + a so a = 1
y = -x/2 + 1</span>

A vehicle uses 1 1/8 gallons of gasoline to travel 13 1/2 miles. At this rate, how many miles can the vehicle travel per gallon
Vesna [10]
We know that
<span>1 1/8 gallons----------> (1*8+1)/8-------> 9/8 gallons
</span><span>13 1/2  miles----------> (13*2+1)/2-------> 27/2 miles

if 9/8 gallons-------------------> 27/2 miles
 1 gallons----------------------> X
X=(27/2)/(9/8)---------> 216/18--------> 12 miles

the answer is 12 miles</span>
