Solve using system of equations. y=number of constructed response questions x=number of multiple choice questions x+y=27 y=10x-6 Replace y for 10x-6 in the first equation x+(10x-6)=27 Simplify. 11x=33 x=3 Substitute 3 for x in any equation to get y=24 there are 3 multiple choice and 24 constructed response questions.
