Alan scored a total of 14 points for answering all the 15 questions on a math quiz. For every correctly answered question, Alan got 2 points. For every wrong answer, he lost 2 points. How many questions did he answer correctly?

Answer 1

all correct would be 30
he's 16 points shy, so he must have missed 16/4 = 4.

11 right = 22
4 wrong = -8
22-8=14

Answer 2

He answered 7 correctly. You divide fourteen by two, then subtract that by fifteen. You get eight, so Alan got eight WRONG. He got seven right.
