Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.

Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38 

Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100

x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)

From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8

There are 8 5-point questions and 30 2-point questions

Lyrx [107]
If the CAT operates with a constant speed of 53 mph (which means it beats 53 miles in one hour) and makes a trip in about 2 and 1/2 hours, we just have to multiply 53 by 2 1/2 to find out the overall distance it's beating in that time:

53 * 2 1/2 =
= 53 * 2.5 =
= 132.5

Answer: City A is about <u>132.5 miles</u> from city B.
