Question

Brandon took a 50-question exam worth a total of 160 points. There were x two-point questions and y five-point questions. How many of each type of question were on the exam?

Answer 1

Answer:

35 2-point questions, and 15 5-point questions

Assume x 2-points question, so 50-x 5-points question

Total no of points: 2*x+5*(50-x)=145 points

2x+250-5x=145

-3x=-105

x=-105/-3=35 2-points questions

Remaining 50-35=15 5-points questions

ok so i really hope this helped and if it didn't then sorry
