x = number of multiple choice questions
y = number of open-ended questions
Since there are 38 questions of either type, this means x+y = 38 is the first equation.
Each multiple choice question is worth 4 points. If a student answers all x of them correctly, then they earn 4x points.
Each open-ended question is worth 20 points. If they answer all y of them correctly, then they earn 20y points.
In total, there are 4x+20y points which is set equal to 200, since this is the total number of points possible on the exam.
The second equation is therefore 4x+20y = 200
-----------------------------------------------------
In summary, the system of equations is
x+y = 38
4x+20y = 200
