Use the five-step problem-solving plan.

What was Jonna's score on her science test?

Answer 1

96 minus 14 equals 82. So then that would be the score of her science test. 

Answer 2

The Jonna's score on her science test is 82.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the Jonnna's score on her math test be x.

Let us assume that the Jonnna's score on her science test be y.

As given

Jonnna's score on her math test was 14 points higher than her score on her science test.

Than the equation becomes

x = 14 + y

Her score on her math test was 96.

i.e x = 96

Than the equation are

x = 14 + y and x = 96

Put value of x in the equation

96 = 14 + y

96 - 14 = y

82 = y

Therefore the Jonna's score on her science test is 82.
