A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is

the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation.
x + y = 24

3x + 5y = 100

What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test?

The test contains 4 three-point questions and 20 five-point questions.

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

What is x 1/4(8x+12)=21
tatiyna

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(8x+12) =21

1/4 * 8x = 2x

1/4 * 12 = 3

2x + 3 = 21

21 - 3 = 18

2x = 18

18/2 = 9

The price of a cycle is reduced by 25 per cent. The new price is reduced by a further 20 per cent.Find the single reduction the
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

40%  . The single reduction together is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the bicycle cost is   x before reduced price.

First 25% is reduced  and again 20% further reduced.

Let the single reduction is y% if the two reduction together are equal.

Solution,

Case .1

reduction cost=x\times 25%%

=x\times 25/100

=x/4

The cost of bicycle after reduction of 25% is

=x-x/4=3x/4

cost of reduction further reduction of 20%      =3x/4\times 20%

=3x\times 20/(4\times 100)

=3x/20

The new cost of bicycle is further reduction of 20% is

=3x/4-3x/20

=\left ( 15x-3x \right )/20

=12x/20=3x/5

Case.2

if single reduction is done new cost of cycle is equal

x-x\times y%=3x/5

x\left ( 1-y/100 \right )=3x/5

\left ( 100-y \right )/100=3/5

100-y=60

y=40%

single reduction of a cycle is 40%
