Question

To win a trivia game, Nevan must score 90 points. Each correct answer is worth 134 points, and each incorrect answer is worth −14 points. If Nevan gets 58 questions correct and 22 questions incorrect how many points does he score?

Answer 1

Answer:7464

Explanation:

90 is the score to get

let c represent correct and w represent wrong

if they get 134 points for it being correct, we can look at it like 134c

if they get -14 points for it being incorrect, we can look at it like -14w

now to put this in the right sense we fill in those letters with how many they got right and wrong : 134(58) -14(22)

This would get 7772 -308

after subtracting these two you'd get: 7464
