Explanation:

As you can see from the question provided, you were told that the total course points are calculated from the points gotten from homework, quizzes, and tests.

Based on the questions, we have the following information.

The total scores of the test = 1/3

The final exam worth = 1/4

Let the quizzes score be x

Let the homework score be y

Recall that, the final exam score will determine the total points earned in a course

Therefore, we have

Final score = quizzes score + tests scores + homework score
