Your answer is b because the common denominator is 10 and so just look at my pic
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.
Let's call the left side of this tirangle y and downside z.
3² + 6² = y²
y² = 45
y² + z² = (3 + x)²
45 + z² = 9 + 6x + x²
x² + 6² = z²
45 + x² + 6² = 9 + 6x + x²
45 + x² + 36 = 9 + 6x + x²
45 + 36 - 9 = 6x
72 = 6x
x = 12
