The answer is:  "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ;   in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators:  50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So;  "50 * 2 = 100" ; 

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ; 

↔  2x = 72 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
 →  78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is:  "39 points" .

Solve -2(2x+5) -3(x-1)
OLEGan [10]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to perform the operations and then, add like terms.

We need to apply the distributive property, which is defined by the following way:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Also, we need to remember how to add like terms. Like terms are terms that share the same exponent and the same variable, for example:

3x+5x+x^{2}=8x+x^{2}

We were able to add only the first two terms since they are like terms, both are sharing the same exponent and the same variable.

So, we are given the expression:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)

Then, solving we have:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-4x-10-(3x-3)\\\\-4x-10-(3x-3)=-4x-10-3x+3\\\\-4x-10-3x+3=-4x-3x-10+3\\\\-4x-3x-10+3=-7x-7

Hence, we have that the answer is:

-2(2x+5)-3(x-1)=-7x-7\\

Have a nice day!
