Answer:

10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of five-point questions and y represent the total number of two-point questions.

Equation 1:     5x+2y=130

Equation 2:     x+y=50

Multiplying Equation 2 by 2:     2x+2y=100     (Equation 3)

(Equation 1) - (Equation 3):     3x=30

                                                  x=10

Substituting x=10 into x+y=50:     10+y=50

                                                            y=40

Therefore, there are 10 five-point questions and 40 two-point questions.


<h2><u>Check</u></h2>

Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 1:

LHS=5x+2y=5(10)+2(40)=50+80=130

RHS=130

LHS=RHS

Substituting x=10 and y=40 into Equation 2:

LHS=x+y=10+40=50

RHS=50

LHS=RHS

Since in both cases the left-hand side is equal to the right-hand side, the answer is correct.

(LHS: left-hand side, RHS: right-hand side)

Why is the answer to a subtraction problem called the difference...
lana [24]
Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.
