X=number of corect
y=number of incorrect
5 points for each correct so 5x
-1 point for each incorrect so -y
5x-y=76
solve for x and y
I like putting it into slope intercep tofrm which is y=mx+b
add y to both sides
5x=76+y
subtract 76 from both sides
5x-75=y
y=5x-76
subsitute values for x and get values for y
remember, that julia cannot answer a negative number of incorrect questions so y must be greater than or equal to 0
so solve for minimum
0<u><</u>5x-76
add 76 to both sides
76<u><</u>5x
divide by 5
15.2<u><</u>x
you cannot answer a fraction of a correct quesiton so round up
16 is the minumum number of queswtions correctlyh answered
so
x<u>></u>16
subsitute 16 for x
y=5(16)-76
y=80-76
y=4
as we subsitute more numbers over 16, we get these points
so (x,y)
(16,4)
(17,9)
(18,14)
(19,19)
(20,24)
(21,29)
(22,34)
(23,39)
x=correct answer
y=wrong answers
If you would like to solve the equation x - 6 = - 14, you can calculate this using the following steps:
x - 6 = - 14
x = - 14 + 6
x = - 8
The correct result would be d. - 8.
Answer:
Third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to cube both sides of the equation. Remember the Power of a power property:
![\sqrt[3]{162x^cy^5}=3x^2y(\sqrt[3]{6y^d})\\\\(\sqrt[3]{162x^cy^5})^3=(3x^2y(\sqrt[3]{6y^d}))^3\\\\162x^cy^5=27x^6y^36y^d](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B162x%5Ecy%5E5%7D%3D3x%5E2y%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B6y%5Ed%7D%29%5C%5C%5C%5C%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B162x%5Ecy%5E5%7D%29%5E3%3D%283x%5E2y%28%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B6y%5Ed%7D%29%29%5E3%5C%5C%5C%5C162x%5Ecy%5E5%3D27x%5E6y%5E36y%5Ed)
According to the Product of powers property:
Then. simplifying you get:
Now you need to compare the exponents. You can observe that the exponent of "x" on the right side is 6, then the exponent of "x" on the left side must be 6. Therefore:
You can notice that the exponent of "y" on the left side is 5, then the exponent of "x" on the left side must be 5 too. Therefore "d" is:
