Mr. McKay wrote an algebra test with a total of 15 questions consisting of multiple choice and short response style questions. M

ultiple choice questions, x, were worth 5 points each and short response questions, y, were worth 10 points each. There were 100 total possible points on the test. Write and graph a system of linear equations for this situation to determine the number of each type of question.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of multiple choice questions

y = number of short response questions

x + y = 15

5x + 10y = 100

=>

x + 2y = 20

let's subtract the first from the second equation :

x + 2y = 20

- x + y = 15

--------------------

0 y = 5

x + y = 15

x + 5 = 15

x = 10

to graph you need to consider both equations as linear functions. and you need to transform them into e.g. a slope intercept form : y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y- intercept.

x + y = 15

transforms to

y = -x + 15

this line goes e.g. through the points (0, 15) and (1, 14).

and

x + 2y = 20

transforms to

2y = -x + 20

y = -x/2 + 10

this line goes e.g through (0, 10) and (2, 9).

the crossing point of both lines is the solution and should therefore be the point (10, 5) as calculated above.

HELP ASAP 20 points Question 12 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)
ryzh [129]

Answer:

<h2>x = 61.6°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the angle of depression we use cosine

cos∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse

37.4 is the hypotenuse

17.8 is the adjacent

\cos(x)  =  \frac{17.8}{37.4}  \\  \\ x =   { \cos( }^{ - 1}  \frac{17.8}{37.4} ) \\  \\ x = 61.6

Hope this helps you
