Answer:

10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y = 24

3x+5y = 100

We can solve this system of equations using elimination. In order to do this, let's first multiply the first equation by 3...

3x+3y=72

3x+5y=100

Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation...

2y=28

Divide both sides by 2

y=14

Plug this back into any of the equations to solve for x...

x+14=24

x=10

There were 10 three-point questions and 14 five-point questions
