Brian,Chris,and Damien took a math test that had 20 questions.the number of questions Brian got right is 14 more than 1/4 the number of questions Chris got right .damien correctly answered 2 less than 5/4 the number of questions Chris answered correctly.if Brian and Damien have the same score .which statement is true ?

Answer 1

B = 1/4c + 14
d = 5/4c - 2
b = d

1/4c + 14 = 5/4c - 2
1/4c - 5/4c = -2 - 14
-c = - 16
c = 16 <=== chris got 16 correct

b = 1/4c + 14
b = 1/4(16) + 14
b = 4 + 14
b = 18 <=== Brian got 18 correct

d = 5/4c - 2
d = 5/4(16) - 2
d = 20 - 2
d = 18 <=== damien got 18 right also

Answer 2

The answer is C they both got 2 more correct
