Answer:

Each question had 4 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the questions be x points each. As both Gretchen and Ezia received equal scores, we can write the equation as:

18x+19=15x+31   (Let the questions be x points each)

Solving for x;

18x-15x=31-19

=> 3x=12

Dividing both sides by 3;

x = 4

Hence, each question had 4 points.

The scores were the same, so 

18m+19 = 15m+31 

<span>Now solve for m, the # points for each multiple-choice question.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Have a nice day ahead and may God bless you always!

What is the standard equation for a circle with the center (2,1) and passing through (0, 1)
Volgvan
The radius is the distance from the center to any point.  The distance from (2,1) to (0,1) is of course 2.  The general formula for a circle with radius r and center (a,b) is

(x-a)^2 + (y-b)^2 = r^2

In our case we get

(x-2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4
