8 0

here's the equation: x+x+(x+12)+ 1/2(x+12) =81

combine like terms

(x+x+x+1/2x) + (12+6) = 81

simplify

7/2x +18=

subtract 18 from both sides.

7/2x=63

multiply by reciprocal (aka 2/7)

x=18

18+12=30 so celia gave 30.

Hope this helps!

The score on a trivia game is obtained by subtracting the number of incorrect answer from twice the number of correct answer. If
brilliants [131]

Answer:

The player answer correctly 30 questions

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to develop the information that gives us as 2 equations

x = correct answer

y = incorrect answer

z = score = 40

h = total answer = 50

2x - y = z               x + y = h

2x - y = 40             x + y = 50

we clear the x of one equation and replace the value of x in the other equation

x = 50 - y

2x - y = 40

2(50 - y) - y = 40

100 - 2y - y = 40

-3y = 40 -100

y = -60/-3

y = 20

x = 50 - y

x = 50 - 20

x = 30
