Question

A test is worth 60 points. Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and

Answer 1

Answer:

C. The number of multiple-choice questions plus the number of

short-answer questions is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of multiple-choice questions

y is the number of short-answer questions.

Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and short-answer questions are worth 5 points.

This means that:

$2x + 5y = 60$

The test has 15 questions.

This means that:

$x + y = 15$.

Which means that option C is the correct answer.
