Answer:

5x-2y =80

x+y=30

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, 5x is the points earned by correct questions (5 points per right answer) and -2x is the points lost by wrong answers (2 points taken away for every wrong answer). The total points the contestant earned is 80, which is why we set this equation equal to 80. Hence, 5x-2y=80.

They also tell us that the contestant answered a total of 30 questions, so x and y combined would be the total number of questions. Hence, x+y=30.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

535

Step-by-step explanation:
