(a) Using graphical method, solve the following system of equations: 3 x+y+4=0 and 3 x-y+2=0
Using graphical method, solve the following system of equations : \[3 x+y+4=0 \text { and } 3 x-y+2=0 \]
Tara scored $\displaystyle 40$ marks in a test, getting $\displaystyle 3$ marks for each right answer and losing $\displaystyle 1$ mark for each wrong answer. Had $\displaystyle 4$ marks been awarded for each correct answer and $\displaystyle 2$ marks been deducted for each wrong answer, then Tara would have scored $\displaystyle 50$ marks. Assuming that Tara attempted all questions, find the total number of questions in the test.
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
Correct solution \(\displaystyle \mathbf{x}=-\mathbf{1}, \mathbf{y}=-\mathbf{1}\)
OR
(b)
Let number of correct answers be x and number of incorrect answers be y
\[\begin{aligned}
& 3 x-y=40 \\
& 4 x-2 y=50
\end{aligned}
\]
Solving, we get \(\displaystyle \mathrm{x}=15, \mathrm{y}=5\)
∴ Total number of questions \(\displaystyle =20\)
