The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28. Instead modifications should have been made before applying the equation.
<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>
An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.
Total Questions = 20
Total Points = 28
Correct Answers = +2 points
Incorrect Answers = -1 point
The viewer represents the correct answers with x and the incorrect ones with y.
x+y = 20
for every correct answers 2 points;
and for every incorrect answers, -1 point
This can be written as
2x-y = 28
The viewer's mistake is that; instead of subtracting total incorrect points from the correct points, the viewer added them together;
now
2x-y = 28
x+y = 20
On adding the equations
]3x = 48
x = 16
y = 4
This means that the contestant answered 16 questions correctly and 4 questions incorrectly
The viewer mistakenly determined that one of the equations in the system should be 2 x + y = 28.

Answer:
D. 3.35
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to form an equation and solve it to find the number of weeks when the prices were the same. Because the prices were the same we can say that b = c, and therefore form the equation:
2.35 + 0.25x = 1.75 + 0.4x - Now we nee to solve it and find x.
2.35 - 1.75 = 0.4x - 0.25x
0.6 = 0.15x
x = 0.6 ÷ 0.15
x = 4 weeks
So now we substitute x into the equation for beef and find the price.
b = 2.35 + (0.25 × 4)
b = 2.35 + 1
b = $3.35 per pound
X>Y
X=7Y
3X=7+4Y
X=?
Y=?
----------------------------
3*7=7+4Y
21Y=7+4Y
21Y-4Y=7
17Y=7
Y=7/17
----------------------
X=7*7/17
X=49/17
