Question

What is a system of equations for the following situation? There is a total of 30 questions on a test. Some questions are multiple-choice and some are short answers. The multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points and the short answer questions are worth 6 points. There is a total of 100 points on the test.

Answer 1

The correct answer here is D, M + s = 30; 2m + 6s = 100. It states that there multiple choice questions, represented as M, and short answer questions, represented as S. In addition, it states that M is worth 2 points while S is worth 6 points. In total, the total number of questions is 30 and the total number of points is 100. Therefore, M + S = 30 and 2m + 6s = 100 are the two options for both scenarios.
