Mr. Martin is giving a math test next period. The test, which is worth 100 points, has 29 problems. Each problem is worth either

5 points or 2 points. Write a system of equations that can be used to find how many problems of each point value are on the test. Let x be the number of questions worth 5 points and let y be the number of questions worth 2 points.
a. x + y = 29, 5x + 2y = 100
b. x + y = 100, 5x + 2y = 29
c. 5x + y = 29, 2y + x = 100
d. 2x + y = 100, 5y + x = 29

Answer:

A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the second sentence , we can deduce that the total number of problems is 29.

Now, x represents the number of problems that award 5 marks, while y represents the number of problems that award 2 marks.

Hence x + y = 29.

There are a total of 100 marks. This mean each x has a mark of 5, so total x marks equal 5x. Also, each y has a mark of 2. total y marks equal 2y. Since total marks equal 100. This mean 5x + 2y = 100 which gives our second equation.

This shows A is correct.

Can anyone fill these out?
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Part (a)

36

Part (b)

Find the filled table in the attachment

Part (c)

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of possible outcomes using the multiplicative rule is given by;

6*6 = 36.

There are 6 possible outcomes in rolling each die, we simply find the product.

The probability of rolling double sixes is given by;

pr(6 and 6) = pr(6) * pr(6) = 1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36

The probability of rolling double sixes represents independent events and thus we employ the multiplicative rule of probability.

Which equation is a direct variation function? y = x y = 1/4 x + 2 y = x2 , y = 4,
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

y=x and y=\frac{1}{4}x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

'Direct Variation function' is the function where two quantities vary directly i.e. variables x and y are said to be directly varying if 'y=kx' where k is the constant of variation.

Thus, from the options, we see that the function,

y=x is varying directly with the constant of variation i.e. k = 1.

y=\frac{1}{4}x is also varying directly with constant k=\frac{1}{4}
