Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1)
If she got 10 answers right, she got 5 * 10 = 50 marks before anything was deducted.
Since she wound up with 30 marks, she lost 50 - 30 = 20 marks. If you don't feel comfortable with this, call it -20
Each incorrect answer cost her -2 marks.
Divide -20 /-2 = 10
She has answered 10 questions incorrectly.
(ii)
5x - 2y = 44
x + y = 13 Multiply this equation by 2
2x + 2y = 26
Rewrite the first and third equations
5x - 2y = 44
<u>2x + 2y = 26</u> Add
7x = 70 Divide by 7
x = 70/7
x = 10
So 10 questions were answered correctly
x + y = 13
10 + y = 13
y = 3
Answer
10 were answered correctly
3 were answered incorrectly
