Here is the set up:
x
x + 2
x + 4
x^2 + (x + 2) + (x + 4)^2 = 170
Take it from here.
Answer:
The new mean for the exam scores is 51
Step-by-step explanation:
the mean can be calculated using the formula
mean of scores = 
before the 20 points was added, the mean of the score was = 50.
Inserting this into the formula, we have:
50 = 
from this, we can compute the sum total of the scores as
sum total = 50 × 20 = 1000
when the extra 20 marks is added, the sum of the entire scores will be changed to 1000 + 20 = 1020.
Hence the new mean will be computed as (New Sum total of scores / Number of students)
=
= 51.
∴ The new mean of the scores is = 51
2x + 8y = 5
2/ 24x - 4y = -15
2x + 8y = 5
48x - 8x = -30
+
--------------------------
50x = -25
x = -1/2
2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5
-1 + 8y = 5
8y = 6
y = 6/8
y = 3/4
x = -1/2 y = 3/4
Let
x------> the number of multiple choice question
y------> the number of free response question
we know that
-----> equation A

-----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A
Find the value of x


therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the number of multiple choice question are 
the number of free response question are
