Question

a 100 point test contains a total of 20 questions. the multiple choice questions are worth 3 points each and the short response questions are with 8 points each. write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.

Answer 1

Let m = number of multiple choice questions
 Let s = the number of short response questions  
The system of linear equations for this situation is:
 m + s = 20
 3m + 8s = 100
