Question

Enrique earns 10 points for each question that he answers correctly on a geography test. Write an equation for the number of points, y, Enrique scores on the test when he answers ,x, questions correctly.

Answer 1

Number of questions he answered correctly = x
points for each correct answer = 10
total points = y

y = 10x

Answer 2

Each answer is given 10 points on being correctly answered in a geography test.

Now suppose the question answered correctly are x.

As each question answered correctly gets 10 points

So for x questions,

Enrique must get 10 times x = 10x points.

Now these total points are y.

Hence the equation shall be

y = 10x

The equation for the number of points y, scored by Enrique is

y= 10x
