Mathematics
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions

(b) Your friend is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent multiple choice with M and essay with E.

So:

M + E= 36 --- Number of questions

2M + 6E = 100 --- Points

Solving (a): Number of question of each type.

Make E the subject of formula in M + E= 36

E = 36 - M

Substitute 36 - M for E in 2M + 6E = 100

2M + 6(36 - M) = 100

2M + 216 - 6M = 100

Collect Like Terms

2M - 6M = 100 - 216

-4M = - 116

Divide both sides by -4

M = \frac{-116}{-4}

M = 29

Substitute 29 for M in E = 36 - M

E = 36 - 29

E = 7

Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?

It is not possible.

See explanation.

If multiple question worth 4 points each, then

2M + 6E = 100 would be:

4M + xE = 100

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.

Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.

4 * 29 + x * 7 = 100

116 + 7x = 100

Subtract 116 from both sides

116-116 + 7x = 100 -116

7x = 100-116

7x = -16

Make x the subject

x = -\frac{16}{7}

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.

Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points

In triangle ABC, angle A is 75o and angle B is 20o. Select the triangle that is similar to triangle ABC.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A. \triangleDEF where \angle D = 75^{\circ} and \angle E = 20^{\circ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we must keep in mind that two triangles are similar when they have same angle configuration, that is, each pair of angles is congruent. If \triangleABC and \triangleDEF, then \angle A \equiv \angle D and \angle B \equiv \angle E. Hence, \angle D = 75^{\circ} and \angle E = 20^{\circ}.

In a nutshell, correct answer is A.

Sail with the equation by completing the square x^2+8x=-3
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The solutions are x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} +8x=-3

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side

x^{2} +8x+16=-3+16

x^{2} +8x+16=13

Rewrite as perfect squares

(x+4)^{2}=13

square root both sides

x+4=(+/-)\sqrt{13}

x=-4(+/-)\sqrt{13}

Solve for x when 4x+16/12=x-4
stira [4]

Answer:

In short, Your Answer would be either 1 or 7

Step-by-step explanation:

|4x + 12| = 16

As it is in modulus function, it could be either +ve or -ve

4x+12 = 16   OR   4x - 12 = 16

4x = 16-12    OR   4x = 16 + 12

4x = 4           OR   4x = 28

x = 4/4     OR  x = 28/4

Suppose that the total interest that will be paid on a 2525-year mortgage from a home loan of $130,000$⁢130,000 is going to be $
lesantik [10]

Answer:

$1,700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Period of mortgage = 25 years

Mortgage amount = $130,000

Total interest on mortgage = $380,000

Hence,

Total amount to be paid ( principal + interest) :

($130,000 + $380,000) = $510,000

Total number of months over the 25 years period:

25 × 12 = 300 months

Payment per month:

Total repayment / number of months

= $510,000 / 300

= $1,700 per month
