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. The test contains 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions. The test contains 14 three-point questions and 10 five-point questions. The test contains 20 three-point questions and 8 five-point questions.

You can solve the system of equations.

Multiply the first equation by -3 and add to the second equation.

                    -3x - 3y = -72
                    3x + 5y = 100
(add)     --------------------------
                            2y = 28

y = 14

x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 10

Answer:
There are 10 3-points questions and 14 5-point questions.

Check: 10 + 14 = 24   There are 24 questions
10 * 3 + 14 * 5 = 30 + 70 = 100   The total number of points is 100.
Our answer is correct.

From looking at the second equation 3x + 5y = 100 you can see that x is the number of 3 point questions, y is the number of 5 points questions.

Use the first equation y + x = 24 to substitute into the second equation. You both equations combined into one equation in one variable.
y = 24 - x
sub 24- x in for y

3x + 5(24-x) = 100
3x + 120 - 5x = 100
-2x = 100 - 120
-2x = -20
x = -20/-2
x = 10

then plug this into ether equation to solve for y.

y + 10 = 24
y = 14

erica [24]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume less books and more movies and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

B.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume less of both goods.

C.) the substitution effect would predict Ethan would consume more books and less movies, and the income effect would predict he would consume less of both.

D.) the substitution and income effects would both predict Ethan would consume more of both goods.

If he continuos to buy 4 books ans 6 movies the total amount is $170, that he does not have. He has to buy less books or go less to the movies.

A global efect of a certain good (X) price rise can be divided into 2 efects:

  • substitution effect: indicates a demand reduction of X, resulting from the price rise, making X less atractive to consumption
  • income effect: indicates a reduction of the demanded quantity of X resulting from the reduction of the acquisition power created by the rise of X price.

So, answer is A.
