Algebra.Com's Answer #42427 by Earlsdon(6294)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the number of 2-point questions, then (40-x) = the number of 4-point questions. You can write the equation to solve this: \n" ); document.write( "2(x) + 4(40-x) = 100 Simplify and solve for x. \n" ); document.write( "2x + 160 - 4x = 100 \n" ); document.write( "-2x + 160 = 100 \n" ); document.write( "-2x = -60 \n" ); document.write( "x = 30 and (40-x) = 10\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are thirty 2-point questions and ten 4-point questions. \n" ); document.write( " |
