Thalia, a quiz show contestant, answered 20 questions. She was awarded 2 points for every correct answer that she gave, but she

was penalized 1 point for every incorrect answer. In the end, Thalia had a total of 28 points. In order to determine the number of correct and incorrect answers that she gave, a viewer at home used the system of linear equations x + y = 20 and 2 x + y = 28, with x being the number of correct answers and y being the number of incorrect answers. The viewer solved the system by using the linear combination method as shown.
x + y = 20. + StartFraction Negative 2 x minus y = negative 28 over Negative x = negative 8 EndFraction. StartFraction negative x Over negative 1 EndFraction = StartFraction negative 8 Over negative 1 EndFraction. X = 8.
8 + y = 20. 8 + y minus 8 = 20 minus 8. y = 12.

A ferry takes several trips between points A and B. It moves at a constant speed of 0.35 miles/minute and takes the same route o
Fofino [41]

The answer is  -|0.35 t -14| +14

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

The problem statement is asking for an expression for distance in miles, so the constants in the expression will be miles. In the time it takes to get to point B (40 minutes), the ferry has gone (0.35 mi/min)×(40 min) = 14 mi. Hence the maximum value of the function must be 14. The only function with that characteristic is the one of selection D.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

keeping track of family relations can be difficult. If Edna marries your mother’s uncle Charlie, what should you call her? If your father’s cousin’s daughter just had a baby boy, how should you two be introduced? Who is your “great great aunt”, and how can you find your “first cousin twice removed”? Fortunately, a bit of mathematical logic can clarify who should be called what, and why – and even measure the degree of genetic similarity between different relatives.
