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.

Given parameters:
Equation of the line is y = -
+ 8
Unknown:
Slope of line parallel to this line = ?
Slope of line perpendicular = ?
Solution:
A line parallel to this line will have the same slope with it.
A line perpendicular will have the negative inverse of this slope;
Slope of line = - 
Slope of line parallel to this line = 
Slope of line perpendicular = negative inverse = -( -(
)) = 2
So, the slope of line parallel to this line is - 1/2 and that perpendicular is 2
Answer: 16%
Step-by-step explanation:
168.2 - 145 = 23.2
23.2/145 = 0.16
0.16 as a percent is 16%
