Sammy is taking a test. Each correct question gives him 5 points and each incorrect question causes him to lose a point. He answers all 20 questions and gets a score of 64. How many questions did he answer correctly?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:14

Step-by-step explanation:

figure out 5x20,, which gives you 100 points

use trial and error is my method :)

if he answered 10 correct, he would get 50 points and lose 10. this gives 40 points. its an error

we now know its between 11 right and 19 right

we continue to do this till we get it right

14 x 5 = 68. - 4 makes 64.

Answer 2

Sammy answered 14 questions correctly on his test, as determined by setting up and solving the equation 5x - (20 - x) = 64, where x represents the number of correct answers.

Sammy is taking a test where each correct question awards him 5 points and each incorrect one deducts a point. With 20 questions in total and a score of 64, we can set up an equation to find out how many questions he answered correctly. Let x represent the number of correct answers. Then, the number of incorrect answers would be 20-x. The scoring system gives us the following equation:

5x - (20 - x) = 64

By solving this equation, we can find out how many questions Sammy answered correctly:

Combine like terms: 5x - 20 + x = 64

Simplify: 6x - 20 = 64

Add 20 to both sides: 6x = 84

Divide both sides by 6: x = 14

Thus, Sammy answered 14 questions correctly on his test.

1.5x=3 whats the answer

Answers

Answer:

To find the value for x you need to get x by itself

To do this we need to do the opposite of what it is showing

1.5 times x the opposite would be dividing

So we need to divide 1.5 from each side (what you do to one side you do to the other)

1.5x/1.5=x (x is now by itself)

A bag contains 10 marbles: 2 are green, 2 are red, and 6 are blue. Deshaun chooses a marble at random, and without putting it back, chooses another one at random. What is the probability that the first marble is green and the second is red?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total marble = 10

No. Blue = 6

No. Red = 2

No. Green = 2

Prob(1st Green) = 2/10 = 1/5

Now there are 9 marble left because it is not replaced back

Prob(2nd Red) = 2/9

Prob(1st green and 2nd red)

=1/5×2/9 = 2/45

The sum of two numbers is thirty seven. Using x to represent the larger of two numbers, translate “the difference between nine more than twice the larger number and the sum of the smaller number and three” into a variable expression

Answers

Two numbers = 37

Larger number is x, so the smaller number is 37 - x:

x + (37 - x) = 37

“The difference” is subtraction, so we are subtracting the smaller and larger number.

“Nine more than twice the larger number” looks like 9 + 2x, and “the sum of the smaller number and three” looks like (37 - x) + 3. Because this is subtraction, we would write (9 + 2x) - (37 - x) + 3. First, distribute the negative sign:

-(37 - x) = -37 + x

We then simplify:

9 + 2x - 37 + x + 3 (subtract 3)

9 + 2x - 34 + x

-25 + 2x + x (subtract 8 and 34 then add 2x and x)

-25 + 3x

The variable expression for the given problem, where x is the larger number and the sum of two numbers is thirty-seven, is 2x + 9 - (37 - x + 3).

The student is asking to translate a word problem into a variable expression. The problem states that the sum of two numbers is thirty-seven and defines the larger number as x. We want to find the expression for "the difference between nine more than twice the larger number and the sum of the smaller number and three". Knowing that the sum of the two numbers is thirty-seven, we can represent the smaller number as 37 - x. Therefore, the expression would be 2x + 9 - (37 - x + 3).

a taxi driver earns $9 per 1 hour work. if he works 10 hours a day and in 1 hour he uses 2-liters petrol with price $1 for 1-liter. how much money does he earn in one day?
a. 90
b. 88
c. 70
d. 60

Answers

if he makes 9 an hour and works 10 hours a day, he makes 90 a day. every hour, he uses 2 liters of petrol, two dollars, so take two dollars off every hour. he makes 7 an hour. 7 times 10 is 70, or c.

Final answer:

The taxi driver earns $70 in one day after deducting the cost of petrol from his gross income.

Explanation:

To calculate the taxi driver's earnings, we need to consider his hourly wage, the number of hours worked, and the cost of petrol used during the day. The driver earns $9 per hour and works for 10 hours a day. Thus, his total gross income for the day is $90 (9 dollars/hour times 10 hours). However, he also uses petrol for which he incurs a cost. He uses 2 liters per hour, and since petrol costs $1 per liter, he spends $2 per hour on petrol. Over 10 hours, he thus spends $20 on petrol (2 dollars/hour times 10 hours). To find his net earning, we subtract the petrol cost from the gross income: $90 - $20, which equals $70.

Step-by-step explanation:

the expression for the markdown on the 8th week is p-.15p=.85p since it will get marked down 15% on the 8th week. the expression for the additional markdowns is p-.05p=.95p since it will get marked down an additional 5% every week after the 8th week.

On the 8th week it will be marked down to .85(150) = 126.50.

9th week: .95(127.50) = 121.13

10th week: .95(121.13) = 115.07

11th week: .95(115.07) = 109.32    

109 is under 110 therefore it is the 11th week.

Find the LCM of the pair of numbers. 6 and 9 The LCM is .

Answers

Answer:

So the LCM of 6 and 9 is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

List the factors of both numbers.

6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36,

9: 9, 18, 27, 36

The LCM of 6 and 9 is found by prime factorizing each number and taking the highest power of each prime that appears, resulting in an LCM of 18.

To find the LCM (Least Common Multiple) of the pair of numbers 6 and 9, we first need to prime factorize each number. The number 6 can be prime factorized as 2 times 3, and 9 can be prime factorized as 3 times 3 or 3². In order to find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime number that occurs in the factorization of both numbers. So, we take 2 from the factorization of 6 (since it's the highest power of 2) and 3² from the factorization of 9 (since it's the highest power of 3), and multiply them together to get the LCM.

The LCM of 6 and 9 is 2 times 3² = 2 times 9 = 18.

Thus, the Least Common Multiple of 6 and 9 is 18.

A moose population is growing exponentially following the pattern in the table shown below. Assuming that the pattern continues, what will be the population of moose after 12 years? Show all your work! Round your answer to the nearest whole number. (5 points)

Answers

The table referred to in the question is:

years=x population =y

 0                  40

 1                  62

 2                 96

 3                149

 4                231

Answer:

7,692 moose

Explanation:

To discover the pattern followed by the data in the table, since it is indicated that the moose population is growing exponentially, you can find the multiplicative rate by dividing any two consecutive terms:

rate = 62/40 ≈ 96/62 ≈ 149/96 ≈ 231/149 ≈ 1.55

Thus, using the first ordered pair of the sequence, (0,40), you get the equation that models the exponential growing:

[tex]p(x)=A_0(1.55)^{x}\\ \\ 40=A_0(1.55)^0\\ \\ 40=A_0\times 1\\ \\ A_0=40\\ \\ p(x)=40(1.55)^x[/tex]

Then, to find the population of moose after 12 years, you substitute x = 12:

[tex]p(12)=40(1.55)^{12}=7,692[/tex]

A math class has 5 girls and 5 boys in the seventh grade and 5 girls and 7 boys in the eighth grade. The teacher randomly selects a seventh grader and an eighth grader from the class for a competition. What is the probability that the students she selects are both girls? Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

Final answer:

The probability that the students selected are both girls is 5/24.

Explanation:

To find the probability that both students selected are girls, we need to calculate the probability of selecting a girl from the seventh grade and a girl from the eighth grade and then multiply those probabilities together.

The probability of selecting a girl from the seventh grade is 5 girls out of 10 students, which can be expressed as 5/10 or 1/2.

The probability of selecting a girl from the eighth grade is 5 girls out of 12 students, which can be expressed as 5/12.

To find the probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities together: (1/2) * (5/12) = 5/24.

Therefore, the probability that the students selected are both girls is 5/24.

RSM QUESTION NEED HELP!!!!!! A biker traveling at his usual speed can go from his house to work in 4 hours. When the weather is bad, he travels 6 miles per hour slower, and it takes him half an hour more. How far is his work from his house?

Answers

Answer:   216 miles

=======================================

Work Shown:

d = distance from work to his house

x = speed when weather is good

y = speed when weather is bad

y = x-6 since he travels 6 mph slower

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

On a good weather day, he travels for 4 hours and goes at x mph

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = x*4

d = 4x

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

On a bad weather day, he travels 4.5 hours (half hour more than 4 hrs) and goes at y = x-6 mph

d = r*t

d = y*4.5

d = 4.5y

d = 4.5(x-6) .... replace y with x-6

d = 4.5x-27 .... distribute

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

The values of d for both equations are the same, as the biker is traveling the same distance. So we can equate the two right hand sides (RHS) and solve for x.

4.5x-27 = 4x

4.5x-4x = 27

0.5x = 27

x = 27/0.5

x = 54

The biker's speed on a good weather day is 54 mph.

A bad weather day's speed would be y = x-6 = 54 - 6 = 48 mph.

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

Now compute the value of d

d = 4x

d = 4*54

d = 216

The biker travels 216 miles on a good weather day

or,

d = 4.5*y

d = 4.5*48

d = 216

the biker travels that same distance on a bad weather day.
