\n" ); document.write( "First step, name your variables.
\n" ); document.write( "Let M be the number of correct multiple choice problems and T be the number of correct true/false problems.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"28 questions were answered correctly\"
\n" ); document.write( "With our variables,
\n" ); document.write( "1.\"M%2BT=28\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"mutilple choice questions are worth 3 points, true false are worth 2 points....score of 77 points\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"3M%2B2T=77\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You now have 2 equations with 2 unknowns, M and T.
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply eq. 1 by (-3) and add to eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"-3M-3T%2B3M%2B2T=-84%2B77\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"-T=-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+T=7%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then from eq. 1,
\n" ); document.write( "\"M%2B7=28\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28+M=21%29\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Twenty one multiple questions and seven T/F questions were answered correctly.
