Changing those words into an equation, we get:
7+3x = 19
Subtract both sides by 7
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3
x = 4
That number is 4. Have a nice day! :)
First we define the variables:
m = multiple choice questions
s = short answer questions
Next we need to satisfy 2 conditions:
1) There are a total of 40 questions. We can represent this mathematically using the variables I defined:

2) The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short-answer are worth 4 points but they need to total 100 points. This can also be represented mathematically:

By satisfying the conditions provided we were able to create the 2 equations!


Use this 3 following steps:
1)At first, we should find the roots :
3x+8=0 => x=-8/3
x-4=0 => x=4
2)Using a chart for the limits:

3)choose your solution:
[-8/3,-4)==> Sentence 3 is correct
