Your teacher is giving you a test worth 100 points containing 40 questions. There are two-point and four-point questions on the test.How many of each type of question are on the test?
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Let number of 2-point tests be \"x\"; These are worth 2x points
\n" ); document.write( "Number of 4-point tests is \"40-x\"; These are worth 4(40-x)=160-4x points
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "points + points = 100
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 160-4x = 100
\n" ); document.write( "-2x = -60
\n" ); document.write( "x=30 (number of 2-pt tests)
\n" ); document.write( "40-x=10 (number of 4-pt tests)\r
