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.

This shape is separated into two trapezoids. The equation for the area of a trapezoid is .5(base1 + base2) multiplied by height. Therefore, each half of the compound shape would be equal to .5(12 + 8) * 6 or 10 * 6 = 60. So the area of the total would be 60+60 or 120.
Answer: B. 1.85 + x = 5.30
Explanation:
The starting height of the tree was 1.85 meters. To find the number of meters the tree grew, you would subtract the current height from the previous height.
5.30-1.85=x. This equation is the same as 1.85 + x = 5.30 if you switch the 5.30 and x.
Answer:
6. is H
7. is B
Explanation:
the communitive property states that if: a+b=c, then b+a=c
if each ballon costs 2 dollars, that would b 2x or $2 (aka the 2) for 1 balloon (aka the x) and since he has a 10$ off coupon, you have to subtract 10$ so y=2x-10
