The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

Answer:
56:190
Step-by-step explanation:
That's the ratio?
I'm not sure what the question is asking.
Answer:
For every 4 grams there are 3 cashews.
12g=9. So that means there are 18 cashews in 24 grams. And like we said, there are 3 cashews in every 4 grams. So there are 21 cashews for 161 cals, equating to 28g.
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide -2x + 6 by -2, then bring the -2 outside the bracket
The answer is D, because that is what you should get when you multiply it out.
4x^2 times x^2 = 4x^4 because...
1) multiply the 4 and the one in front of the x on the second term = 4 then
2) multiply x^2 times x^2 to get x^4, not x^3, so you can immediately eliminate A and B to save time.
Now let's deal with the second part..."may or may not be" part
A polynomial is an expression with more than two algebraic terms
terms are like...
2x + 3y ---there's two terms there, eventhough the 2 and x are multiplied, it doesn't count (same with the 3 and y)
since it only have two terms, not more than two terms, it is called a binomial, not polynomial. I think that's what they mean by that
one term with a variable (y,x,and so on) is called a monomial
one term with no var is called a constant
there's many more but hope this gave you some help
