Answer:
a=567 km+900 km
a=1,467 km
b=567 km+169 km
b=736 km
x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1
x^2/(1,467)^2+y^2/(736)^2=1

Answer:
(a) 7 essays and 29 multiple questions
(b) Your friend is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:

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
