Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)The problem is to find out how many 3 -point questions and how many 4 -point questions will be on the test.

(b)

Let the number of 3-point questions =x

Let the number of 4 -point questions =y

The test will have 30 questions, therefore:


x+y=30

Since the test will have a total of 100 points, we have:


3x+4y=100

(c)From the first equation: x=30-y

Substitute into the second.
