Answer:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving by elimination here again, there are 2 good options available. Either multiply the whole bottom equation by -1 to cancel the x, or by 2 to cancel the y. I'll do the latter:
Add from top to bottom:
Now, with the value of x, solve for y in either of the equations. I'll choose the second one here:
(x, y) = (3, 5)
Let x represent number of wrong questions answered by Aaron.
We have been given that Aaron is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 20 points available. Each question is worth exactly 1 point. We are asked to find Aaron's score (out of 20) if he got 6 questions wrong.
To find Aaron's score, we will subtract number of wrong answers from total score.
Therefore, Aaron's test scores would be 14 out of 20.
To find Aaron's score if he got x questions wrong, we will subtract x from total scores that is .
Therefore, Aaron's score would be , if he got x questions wrong.
