Answer: there are 10 multiple choice questions and 15 short-answer questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of multiple choice questions in the test.
Let y represent the number of short-answer questions in the test.
If the test has 25 questions, it means that
x + y = 25
Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and short-answer questions are worth 4 points. The test is worth a total of 80 points. It means that
2x + 4y = 80 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 25 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(25 - y) + 4y = 80
50 - 2y + 4y = 80
- 2y + 4y = 80 - 50
2y = 30
y = 30/2 = 15
x = 25 - y = 25 - 15 = 10
A. The number of multiple-choice questions plus the number of short-answer questions is 25.
There are a total 40 cars
and there is x yellow cars
and there are nine times as much white cars (9x white cars) lol
so x+9x=40
simplify 10x=40
divide both sides by ten 10x/10=40/10
x=4
we are looking for the number of WHITE cars sooo we multiply by 9-
9x=36
how is this "hardddd" no offence*
sorry im a mean person
3x + 2y = 12
2y = -3x + 12
y = -1.5x + 6
So are you trying to simplify one side to get it to look like the other?
