The equation given in the question has two unknown variables in the form of "x" and "y". The exact value of "x" and "y" cannot be determined as two equations are needed to get to the exact values of "x" and "y". This equation can definitely be used to show the way for determining the values of "x" in terms of "y"and the value of "y" in terms of "x". Now let us check the equation given.
2x - 5y = - 15
2x = 5y - 15
2x = 5(y - 3)
x = [5(y - 3)]/2
Similarly the way the value of y can be determined in terms of "x" can also be shown.
2x - 5y = - 15
-5y = - 2x - 15
-5y = -(2x + 15)
5y = 2x + 15
y = (2x +15)/5
   = (2x/5) + (15/5)
   = (2x/5) + 3
So the final value of x is [5(y -3)]/2 and the value of y is (2x/5) + 3.

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Smitha answered all
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

15 answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to set up an equation.

Let's name the number of incorrect answers x.

<u>We can set up an equation that's essentially:</u>

(Points for correct answer)*(number of correct answers)+(points for incorrect answer)*(number of incorrect answers)=final score

When we plug in our numbers and variables it looks like this:

5(3)+(-2x)=-15

Simplify

15-2x=-15

Subtract 15 from both sides

-2x=-30

Divide both sides by -2

x=15

This means Smitha attempted 15 wrong answers, and that there were 18 questions in total.
