Question

Write a system of equations for the following situation. There are a total of 35 questions on a test. Some questions are multiple choice and some are short answers. The multiple choice questions are worth 2 points and the short answer questions are worth 5 points. There are a total of 100 points on the test.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• m + s = 35
• 2m + 5s = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 35 questions on a test:

• m + s = 35

Points from multiple choice answers = 2m

Points from short answers = 5s

There are a total of 100 points on the test:

• 2m + 5s = 100

Answer 2

• Pens be m
• Pencils be s

The condition is

• There are total 35pens to buy.

$\\ \sf\longmapsto m+s=35$

• Each pen costs 2$
• Each pencil costs 5$
• You have 100$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2m+5s=100$
