x = 4, y = 1

Step 1: use the equations given to find an equation with only 1 term. Here I used x.

(x + 2y) + (x - 2y) = 2x = 6 + 2 = 8

2x = 8

x = 4

Step 2: substitute x = 4 into either given equation. Here I used the first equation x + 2y = 6.

(4 + 2y) = 6

2y = 6 - 4 = 2

y = 1

This solution can also be done by finding y in step 1 or using the other given equation in step 2.

Hope this helped!

In a game, a player earns 100 points for each question answered correctly and earns -30 points for each question answered incorr

REY [17]

The general expression is 130 x - 600 and total points scored by the player is 1220

A) Let the number of correctly answered questions be x.

∴ Number of incorrectly answered questions will be 20 - x.

+ 100 points is awarded for each question answered correctly while -30 points is awarded for each question answered incorrectly.

Thus, the general equation becomes

= 100x - (20 - x)(-30)

= 100x +30x - 600

= 130x - 600

Thus the general expression becomes 130 x - 600

B) The player answers 14 questions correctly, thus x = 14

Substituting the value of x =14 in the general equation we get,

= 130(14) - 600

= 1820 - 600

= 1220.

Thus the total points scored by the player will be 1220

The 4th selection is appropriate:
The first line is a dashed line which joins ordered pairs (-2, 1) and (3, 1). The second line is a dashed line and joins ordered pairs (-2, -2) and (3, 3). The portion common above the first line and above the second line is shaded
