Answer 1

Answer:

for science the number of question is 3

And, for math it would be 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total questions answered is 8

And, earned points is 13

Let us assume the science question be x

And, the math question be y

Now the equation would be

x + 2y = 13

And the second equation would be

x + y = 8

Now solve the both equation

y = 5

So, the x = 3

hence, for science the number of question is 3

And, for math it would be 5
