Answer
A. -30 points
B. 60 points
Step-by-step explanation:
20 points for correct answer and 10 points deducted for wrong answer
Each deduction is -10 while each correct answer gives + 20
4 questions correctly and 11 incorrectly
= 4(20) + 11(-10)
= 80-110 = -30 points
Second round
7 correct, 8 incorrect
= 7(20) - 8(10)
= 140-80 = 60 points
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
