Question 192549
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


Let <i><b>x</b></i> represent the number of problems on the test.  Then <b><i>x</i>-9</b> represents the number of problems correctly answered.  Since the score on the test was 44%, <b>.44<i>x</i></b> also represents the number of problems correctly answered.


So:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x - 9 = 0.44x]


Solve for <i><b>x</b></i> and round to the nearest integer.
