Answer:

School A gave 12 correct and 12 incorrect answers. School B gave 12 correct answers and the competition was tied.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

School A points = 174

School B points = 102

Every correct answer is awarded 10 points and every incorrect answer reduces 6 points.

Let x be the number of correct answer given by school A and thus x is the number of  incorrect answer given by school A. The, school B also gives x number of correct answer.

Thus, the scored can be modeled with the following equations:

School A: 174 + 10x - 6x = 174 + 4x

School  B: 102 + 10x

Since, both the schools tied, equating both the equations:

174 + 4x = 102 + 10x\\\Rightarrow 10x - 4x = 174 -102\\\Rightarrow 6x = 72\\\Rightarrow x= 12

Thus, school A gave 12 correct and 12 incorrect answers. School B gave 12 correct answers and the competition was tied.
