Answer: There are 10 two points and 16 five points questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the detailed question:
A language arts test is worth 100 points. There are a total of 26 questions. There are spelling word questions that are worth 2 points each and vocabulary word questions worth 5 points each. How many of each type of question is there?
Let y = the number of 2 points questions
Let z = the number of 5 points questions
y + z = 26 ......... i
2y + 5z = 100 ........ ii
Multiply equation i by 2
Multiply equation ii by 1
2y + 2z = 52 ......... iii
2y + 5z = 100 ....... iv
Subtract iv from iii
-3z = -48
z = 48/3
z = 16
Since y + z = 26
y = 26 - 16
y = 10
y = 10 two points questions
z = 16 five points questions
There are 10 two points and 16 five points questions.
