\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = number of 4 pt questions; Then (40-x) = number of 2 pt questions;
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A simple equation;
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 2(40-x) = 100
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 80 - 2x = 100
\n" ); document.write( "4x - 2x = 100 - 80
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "x = 20/2 = 10 4 pt questions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "40 - 10 - 30 2 pt questions
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check 4(10) + 2(30) = 100
