Question

Addy is taking a test with multiple choice and True/False questions. On the test, Addy got a total of twenty questions correct. Addy gets five points for correct multiple-choice answers and one point for each correct True/False answer. She earned 76 points on the test. How many multiple-choice questions and how many True/False questions did Addy get correct?

Answer 1

5x+1y=76
x+y=20

x+y=20
-x -x
y=-x+20

5x+1y=76
5x+1(-x+20)=76
5x-x=56
4x=56
X=14

14+y=26
-14 on both sides
y= 12

So Addy got 14 multiple choice correct and 12 true/false questions correct.

Answer 2

Addy got 14 multiple choice correct and 12 true and false questions right
