Answer: the system of equations are

x + y = 35

3x + 2y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number of short answer questions.

Let y= the number of multiple choice questions.

Noah wants 35 questions on the exam. This means that

x + y = 35

He plans to mix short answer questions, worth 3 points, with multiple choice questions worth 2 points. This means that x short answer questions will give 3x points and y multiple choice questions will give 2y points

Since the exam is worth 100 points, then,

3x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 35 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(35 - y) + 2y = 100

105 - 3y + 2y = 100

y = 105 - 100 = 5

x = 35 - y = 35 - 5

x = 30

Sofia ordered sushi for a company meeting. They change plans and increase how many people will be at the meeting, so they need a
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Sofia will order 7 more rolls of sushi (84 pieces) and pay $56

Step-by-step explanation:

They need at least 100 pieces of sushi

Sofia had ordered and paid for 24 pieces of sushi already

Sushi comes in rolls

Each roll=12 pieces at $8

R=additional rolls that Sofia orders

Additional sushi= Needed sushi - ordered sushi

=100-24

=76 pieces of sushi

Each roll has 12 pieces

76/12=6.33

Sofia has to order in rolls

So, she will order 7 more rolls of sushi of 12 pieces each

12*7=84 pieces

Recall, that they needed at least 100 pieces, so the number of pieces could be more than 100

If Sofia orders 84 pieces + the already ordered 24 pieces

Total pieces=108 pieces

She has paid for 24 pieces (3 rolls) at $8 per roll

7 rolls=$8*7

=$56

susan took two tests.the probability of her passing both tests is 0.6.the probability of her passing the first test is 0.8.what
OverLord2011 [107]
Formula for this is as follows:
probability of her passing both 0.6/0.8 - first test and this is a fraction. 0.6/0.8
0.6/0.8= divide 0.6 by 0.8=0.75
that means probability of her passing the second test is 75%

An engineering school reports that 53% of its students were male (M), 35% of its students were between the ages of 18 and 20 (A)
erik [133]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                      18-20                  Not 18-20           Total

Male                0.23                    0.35                 0.58

Female            0.16                     0.26                0.42

Total                0.39                    0.61                   1

P(female or between 18-20) = P(female) + P(18-20) - P(Female and 18-20)

P(female or between 18-20) =  0.42+0.39-0.16

P(female or between 18-20) = 0.65

Hence, our required probability is 0.65.

Write an absolute value equation to satisfy the given solution set shown on a number line.
aivan3 [116]

Answer: IX - 4I ≤ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In the numer line we can see that our possible values of x are in the range:

0 ≤ x ≤ 8

And we want to find an absolute value equation such that this set is the set of possible solutions.

An example can be:

IX - 4I ≤ 4

To construct this, we first find the midpoint M of our set, in this case is 4.

Then we write:

Ix - MI  ≤ IMI

Notice that i am using the minor and equal sign, this is because the black dots means that the values x = 0 and x = 8 are included, if the dots were empty dots, it would be an open set and we should use the <  > signs.
