In a certain game of 50 questions, the final score is calculated by subtracting twice the number of wrong answers from the total number of correct answers. If a player attempted all questions and received a final score of 35, how many wrong answers did he give?

Well, you start at 50. For every wrong answer you lose 3 points. Lost 15, so there were 15/3=5 wrong answers.
