Weiling took part in a Mathematics quiz which consist of 60 questions. For every correct answer, 3 marks would be awarded. For every wrong answer, 2 marks would be deducted. Weiling answered all the questions and scored a totał of 140 marks for the quiz. How many questions did she answer correctiy?

Right answer = 52

Wrong answers = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Every correct answer = + 3

Every wrong answer = - 2

Number of correct answers = x

Number of wrong answers = y

x + y = 60 - - - (1)

3x - 2y = 140 - - - (2)

From (1) :

x = 60 - y

Put x = 60 - y into (2)

3(60 - y) - 2y = 140

180 - 3y - 2y = 140

180 - 5y = 140

-5y = 140 - 180

-5y = - 40

y = 8

x = 60 - y

x = 60 - 8

x = 52

Right answer = 52

Wrong answers = 8

step-by-step explanation:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.

step-by-step explanation:

given that megan owns a clothing boutique.

the profits of 2010, 11, are recorded and shown as follows:

years since     2010 0     1     2     3       4       5

profits made in 1000's   39       84     111     120   111     84

we find that profit gradually increases form 2010 to 2013 upto 120,   then starts decreasing.

the profits for 2012 and 2014 are the same while that of 2011 and 2015 are also the same.

this shows that there is symmetry about the line profit = 120000

hence answer is:

a.   since the profit made in 2012 is equal to the profit made in 2014, the profit is           symmetric about the line y = 120,000.
