Ok. so lets call the cost of each soda x. now, 3 packs of soda is 10 less than five packs of soda. so the price of 3 packs of soda is 3x, the price of five packs is 5x. now, it says that 3 packs is 10 less than five packs. that means that 3x=5x-10.
now, to find the price of a pack of soda, we have to isolate x.
add 10 to both sides to get 3x+10=5x. now, we subtact 3x on both sides to get 10=2x. divide by 2 on both sides, x=5. a pack of soda is 5 dollars
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.

Hi , the answer is 52% , because 13 divided by 25 equals to 0.52 , we move the decimal two spaces to the right , so the answer is 52.
1) m∠1 = 360°/8 = 45° . . . . . a regular octagon is 8-way rotationally symmetrical, so each sector is 1/8 of a circle.
2) m∠2 = (180° -45°)/2 = 67.5° . . . . . . the angles of a triangle add to 180°. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.
Just move the decimal point 2 spaces to the left if you want it in the hundredth place. <span>.900 is the answer.</span>
