Your teacher is giving you a test worth 100 points containing 40 questions. There are two-point and four-point questions on the test. How many of each type of question are on the test?

How would you set this up?
Answered by drwls
Suppose there are x 2-pointers and y 4-pointers.

x + y = 40

2x + 4y = 100

If you are learning algebra, you probably know what to do next.

You could double both sides of the first equation and subtract what you get from the second equation, for example. That would give you 2y = 20 right away.

Ok you have to write a system of equations.

x+y=40
2x+4y=100

y=40-x

2x+4(40-x)=100

solve: X=30 Y=10

then 30+y = 40
y=10
