Answer:
The player answer correctly 30 questions
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to develop the information that gives us as 2 equations
x = correct answer
y = incorrect answer
z = score = 40
h = total answer = 50
2x - y = z x + y = h
2x - y = 40 x + y = 50
we clear the x of one equation and replace the value of x in the other equation
x = 50 - y
2x - y = 40
2(50 - y) - y = 40
100 - 2y - y = 40
-3y = 40 -100
y = -60/-3
y = 20
x = 50 - y
x = 50 - 20
x = 30
Answer:
<h2>8 or -8</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value of number a:
|a| = a for a ≥ 0
|a| = -a for a < 0
|a| = 8 ⇔ a = 8 or a = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
5p + 7 = 3(4 - p)
5p + 7 = 12 -3p
5p + 3p= 12 - 7
8p = 5
p = 8/5
Since the numerator and the denominator are both divisible by 37, this simplifies to 1/2
