Question: 2c - 5 = 9
Answer: c = 7
The answer to your question is 6.54
Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.
Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38
Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100
x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)
From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8
There are 8 5-point questions and 30 2-point questions
20mn - 30m
As you can see, both numbers are divisible by 10m. So if you were to divide them both, you would be left with, 10m (2n - 3), which would be the correct answer.
