2 * x + 4 * y = 100
x + y = 40
x = 40 - y
substitute in first equation to get:
2 * (40-y) + 4*y = 100
remove parentheses to get:
80 - 2y + 4y = 100
solve for y to get:
2y = 20
y = 10
x = 40 - 10 = 30
you have 30 questions worth 2 points.
you have 10 questions worth 4 points.
total questions is 30 + 10 = 40
total points is 60 + 40 = 100
