Answer:
-1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + c is the standard form of the equation where m is slope. Comparing the question to the equation we get
m = -1/2
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
- 455 adult tickets
- 884 student tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "a" represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then 1339-a is the number of student tickets sold. The revenue collected was ...
5a + 1(1339-a) = 3159
4a = 1820 . . . . . . subtract 1339, collect terms
a = 455 . . . . . . . . divide by 4; adult tickets sold
(1339-a) = 884 . . . . student tickets sold
455 adult tickets and 884 student tickets were sold.
