4 0

Answer:

10 incorrect answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct answer = +3

Incorrect answer = - 1

Mark scored = 20

Number of correct answers = 10

Let:

Incorrect answers = y

Hence, we can fashion out the expression for total score :

(Number of correct answers * score per Correct answer + number of incorrect * score per incorrect) = total score

(10 * 3) + (y * - 1) = 20

30 - y = 20

-y = 20 - 30

-y = - 10

y = 10

10 incorrect answers

Which expressionis equal to (-7x+5.1y)-(-9x+5.3y)
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the given expression will be:

c. 2x-0.2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

(-7x+5.1y)-(-9x+5.3y)

To simplify the expression.

Solution:

In order to simplify the expression, we will first remove the parenthesis by reversing the signs of the terms inside the parenthesis which lies after a negative sign out side the parenthesis.

<em>This is because negative multiplies to a negative to give a positive and negative multiplies to a positive to give a negative.</em>

So, we have:

⇒ -7x+5.1y+9x-5.3y

Combining like terms

⇒ -7x+9x+5.1y-5.3y

<em>The like terms can be evaluated as</em>

-7x+9x=2x

5.1y-5.3y=-0.2y

Thus, the simplified expression will be:

⇒  2x-0.2y

A cylinder shaped container has a radius of 30 cm and a height of 100 cm. A glass sphere with a redius of 12 cm is placed inside
Artemon [7]
Vcylinder-Vsphere=water


Vcylinder=hpir^2
Vsphere=(4/3)pir^3


given

cylinderradius=30 and h=100
Vcylinder=100pi30^2=100pi900=90000pi
let's leave it in terms of pi for more exactness

sphereradius=12
Vsphere=(4/3)pi12^3=2304pi


cylinder-sphere=90000pi-2304pi=87696pi
using pi=3.14
water=275365.44 cubic cm

last option is corrrect

Describe and correct the error in finding the area of a sector with a radius of 6 centimeters and a central angle of 40
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

12.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

Since we don't have anything other than the question, all I can do is answer the question. You are left with the task of figuring out the error.

Formula

Area = (central angle divided by 360 ) * pi r^2

Solution

Area = (40 /360) * 3.14 * 6^2

Area = 1/9 * 3.14 * 36

Area = 4 * 3.14

Area = 12.56
