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.

False... a ratio equivalent to 2:5 is 4:10
2/5 × 2/2 = 4/10
The given equation is:
ax2 + bx + c = 0
We have the resolvent is:
x = (- b +/- root (b2 - 4ac)) / (2a)
The discriminant is:
b2 - 4ac = 0
The solution will be:
x = (- b) / (2a)
Thus, the equation has a real solution.
Answer:
option B
Answer:AlF3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
F(x)=-x^2-4x-1
Step-by-step explanation:
According to PEMDAS, do the exponent part for the parentheses, sense it goes first.
F(x)= -(x^2+4x+4)+3
Then distribute the - sign
F(x)= -x^2-4x-4+3
Then you simplify
F(x)= -x^2-4x-1
