Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test

0.25q+0.10d=4.95 D=3q

lorasvet [3.4K]

0.25q + 0.1d = 4.95
d = 3q

0.25q + 0.1(3q) = 4.95
 0.25q + 0.3q = 4.95
 0.55q = 4.95
 0.55 0.55
 q = 9
0.25(9) + 0.1d = 4.95
 2.25 + 0.1d = 4.95
- 2.25 - 2.25
 0.1d = 2.7
 0.1 0.1
 d = 27

Solve -3x2 + 30x - 90 = 0.

$-3x^{2}+30x-90=0 \\ \\ x^{2}-10x+30=0 \\ \\ \Delta=(-10)^{2}-4*1*30=100-20=-20 \\ \\ \sqrt{\Delta}= \sqrt{-20}=i \sqrt{20} =2i \sqrt{5} \\ \\ x_{1}= \frac{10-2i \sqrt{5} }{2} = 5-i \sqrt{5} \\ \\ x_{2}= \frac{10+2i \sqrt{5} }{2} = 5+i \sqrt{5}$
