You divide 71 by 9 to get 7 8/9
-x + 4 = 2x + 1
add x to both sides
4 = 3x + 1
subtract 1 from both sides
3 = 3x
dived 3 from both sides
1 = x
Using a system of equations, it is found that Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.
In this problem, the variables are:
- Variable x: Number of questions she got correct.
- Variable y: Number of questions she got wrong.
The test has 30 questions, hence:
x + y = 30 -> y = 30 - x.
She scored 152 points, hence, considering the value of each question:
8x - 3y = 152.
Since y = 30 - x:
8x - 3(30 - x) = 152
11x = 242
x = 242/11
x = 22
Gina got 22 questions correct in the test.
