Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct answer is C.
m + 3s = 50
the total number of questions is 20. since the paper is made of only multiple choice and short answer questions, the sum of the multiple choice and short answer questions should be 20.
since multiple choice is 'm' and short answer is 's'
then m + s = 20
but theres no option for that
if we take the number of points
points for 1 multiple choice question - 1
then points for m number of multiple choice questions = 1 * m = m
points for 1 short answer - 3
then points for s number of short answer question = 3 * s = 3s
then total number of points = m + 3s
and the total number of points = 50
therefore
m + 3s = 50
this is the correct answer C.
Answer:
k = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify
5+20k+7k=28k+8
2) Combine the k's
5+27k=28k+8
3) Subtract 27k on both sides
5=k+8
4) Subtract 8 on both sides
-3=k or k= -3
Answer: 
a=-3
b=-9
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: (x−2)(x−2)
The middle number is -4 and the last number is 4.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -4
Multiply together to get 4
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -2 and -2:
-2+-2 = -4
-2*-2 = 4
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -2 and -2 to get...
(x-2)(x-2)
Answer:
(x−2)(x−2)
so the answer is D.
