Answer:

10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 24

3x+5y = 100

We can solve this system of equations using elimination. In order to do this, let's first multiply the first equation by 3...

3x+3y=72

3x+5y=100

Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation...

2y=28

Divide both sides by 2

y=14

Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for x...

x+14=24

x=10

There were 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions

Which digit(s) make the solution of the equations the whole number? 5x-496=1.34...
umka21 [38]

Answer:

x≈ 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

5x-496=1.34...

We are to find the value of x to the nearest whole number

Add 496 to both sides

5x-496+496 = 1.34+496

5x = 497.34

x = 497.34/5

x = 99.468

x ≈ 100

Hence the value of x to nearest whole number is 100

A farm stand sold 12 ears of corn for $4. The farm stand sold 180 ears of corn at the same rate.
Scorpion4ik [409]
Divide 4 by 12, which equals approximately 0.33333, then multiply that to 180, which gives us 60. So she sold 180 ears of corn for $60.

Find an equation of the parabola that has the indicated vertex and whose graph passes through the given point
vichka [17]
Equation of a parabola with vertex at (2, -1) is
y = a(x - 2)^2 - 1

Using the given point: -3 = a(4 - 2)^2 - 1
-2 = a(2)^2
4a = -2
a = -1/2

Therefore, required equation is
y = -1/2(x - 2)^2 - 1
y = -1/2(x^2 - 4x + 4) - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 2 - 1
y = -1/2x^2 + 2x - 3
