Answer:
10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the total number of five-point questions and y represent the total number of two-point questions.
Equation 1: 5x+2y=130
Equation 2: x+y=50
Multiplying Equation 2 by 2: 2x+2y=100 (Equation 3)
(Equation 1) - (Equation 3): 3x=30
x=10
Substituting x=10 into x+y=50: 10+y=50
y=40
Therefore, there are 10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions.

Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 1:
LHS=5x+2y=5(10)+2(40)=50+80=130
RHS=130
LHS=RHS
Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 2:
LHS=x+y=10+40=50
RHS=50
LHS=RHS
Since in both cases the left-hand side is equal to the right-hand side, the answer is correct.
(LHS: left-hand side, RHS: right-hand side)
Subtract the cost of tickets from the total. 4x7.5=30. 58-30=28. Eight boxes of candy were purchased in total. Use c to represent candy. 8c=28. Finally, divide both by 8. 28/8= 3.5. The answer is $3.50.
Answer: 360
Step-by-step explanation:
1/5 of 600 is 120
Since we have to take 3/5 we simply multiply 120 by 3 to get 3/5
Thus meaning that the answer is 360 apples.
Sometimes true, depends on d. ex: -8 + -8 is negative, but -8 + 9 is positive
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
only Ali's way would work in this situation. since there is a 5 on the right side, you can not use the zero product property. this only works if the right side is 0. so, you must use Ali's method.
