The general expression is 130 x - 600 and total points scored by the player is 1220
A) Let the number of correctly answered questions be x.
∴ Number of incorrectly answered questions will be 20 - x.
+ 100 points is awarded for each question answered correctly while -30 points is awarded for each question answered incorrectly.
Thus, the general equation becomes
= 100x - (20 - x)(-30)
= 100x +30x - 600
= 130x - 600
Thus the general expression becomes 130 x - 600
B) The player answers 14 questions correctly, thus x = 14
Substituting the value of x =14 in the general equation we get,
= 130(14) - 600
= 1820 - 600
= 1220.
Thus the total points scored by the player will be 1220

Answer:
Obi's age is 18 and Oba's age is 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let Obi's age be x and Oba's age be y
<u><em>Condition 1:</em></u>
x = 2y -----------(1)
<u><em>Condition 2:</em></u>
(x-4) = 3(y-4)
=> x -4 = 3y-12
=> x - 3y = -9 -----(2)
<u><em>Putting eq (1) in (2)</em></u>
2y - 3y = -9
=> -y = -9
=> y = 9
Now,
x = 2y
=> x = 2(9)
=> x= 18
