Answer: the player answered 30 questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of questions that the player answered correctly.

Let y represent the number of questions that the player answered incorrectly.

The number of questions that the player answered is 40. It means that

x + y = 40- - - - - - - - - - -1

The score on the trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answers from twice the number of correct answers. If the player obtained a score of 50, It means that

2x - y = 50

y = 2x - 50

Substituting y = 2x - 50 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 2x - 50 = 40

3x - 50 = 40

3x = 40 + 50 = 90

x = 90/3

x = 30
