Respuesta :

The inequality that represents the number of right answers (r) and wrong answers (w) Olga can give to win the contest is:  [tex]3r-w>100[/tex]

Explanation

Number of right answers is  [tex]r[/tex] and number of wrong answers is  [tex]w[/tex]

Olga earns 12 points for each right answer and loses 4 points for each wrong answer.

So, total points earned for [tex]r[/tex] right answers [tex]=12r[/tex]

and total points lost for [tex]w[/tex] wrong answers [tex]=4w[/tex]

That means, her score will be:  [tex](12r-4w)[/tex] points.

In order to win the quiz contest, Olga must score more than 400 points. So, the inequality will be.......

[tex]12r-4w>400\\ \\4(3r-w)>400\\ \\  3r-w>100[/tex]
