Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago

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

<em>Your friend is incorrect.</em>

Hi,so I've tried solving this problem for a while and I just don't get it,if you could give me some ideas I would appreciate it.
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

187 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The bottom rectangle area is easy, it is 15*9 = 135 cm².

To find the area of the triangle, you only need the base width and its height (you don't need the hypotenuse). You can then use the formula: area triangle is base times half height.

The base width is 15-7 = 8 cm

The height is 22-9 = 13 cm

So the area of the triangle is 13*8/2 = 52 cm²

Together with the 135 of the rectangle that sums to 52+135 = 187 cm².
