Answer:

The correct answer is: X = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a closer look...

Right now we only know that Louann got 14 multipe choice questions correct and recieved 24 points for her essay while Carla got 16 multiple choice questions correct and received 14 points for her essay. We don't know how many questions there are in total, correct? So let's plug in our numbers and use <em>x</em> to represent the unknown amount of questions:

14x + 24 = 16x + 14

= 2x + 10

= x = 5

I hope this helped!

Cheers, mate!

Each multiple choice question was worth 5 points.

14x+24 = 16x +14
2x = 10
x = 5
