Question

Shelly and Terrence earned points in a game by come playing various tasks. Shelly completed x tasks and scored 90 points on each one. The expression below shows Terrence’s total points in the game:
90x - 20

What does the constant term of expression represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is:

The difference between Shelly's and Terrence's total points.

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer or the only choice you could pick, is D.

But it is not correct - not really.

The question says that 90x - 20 represents Terrence's points. Only if D is correct does 20 show his tasks. The question must have 2 answers.

So which one do you pick? You should never have to deal with this kind of question. The answer I think you need to give is B, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

The question should say 90*x - 20 has Terrence's tasks in it. Then the answer is B.
