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:
--- Number of questions
--- Points
Solving (a): Number of question of each type.
Make E the subject of formula in 

Substitute 36 - M for E in 


Collect Like Terms


Divide both sides by -4


Substitute 29 for M in 


Solving (b): Can the multiple questions worth 4 points each?
It is not possible.
See explanation.
If multiple question worth 4 points each, then
would be:

Where x represents the number of points for essay questions.
Substitute 7 for E and 29 for M.


Subtract 116 from both sides



Make x the subject

Since the essay question can not have worth negative points.
Then, it is impossible to have the multiple questions worth 4 points

The pages that have diagrams is an illustration of proportions
0.46% pages have diagrams
<h3>How to determine the percentage</h3>
The given parameters are:
Total = 650 pages
Diagrams = 3 pages
The percentage of page that has diagram is then calculated as:

So, we have:

Evaluate the product

Divide

Hence, 0.46% pages have diagrams

The correct question is
<span>If you are paid $5.50/hour for mowing yards, and you take 3 1/3 hours to mow a yard, how much money are you owed
see the attached figurewe know that
3 1/3 hours-----> (3*3+1)/3----> 10/3 hours
Multiply </span>$5.50/hour by (10/3) hour
so
5.5*10/3----> $18.33
the answer is$18.33
Multiply the first equation by -2. It turns into 4x+18y=50 and the other one stays -4x-9y=-23. Then you "eliminate" the equations by "adding" them. Set it up like this:
4x+18y=50
+
-4x-9y=-23
4x-4x= 0. 18y-9y= 9y and 50-23= 27
SO: 9y= 27 and y= 3
And then you plug that in to one equation: 4x +18(3)= 50. 4x= 50-(18*3)
4x= -4, so x=-1.
Plug it back in to check!
Hope this helps. Happy solving! :)
