Pls help guys i really don’t know how to do this

A Math and Science Club enters a two-day competition. Teams solve multi-step math
problems on the first day. They receive two points for every problem they get correct
in the morning session and three points for every question they get correct in the
afternoon session.

Write an equation to represent the situation. Remember to define your variable(s).

Answer:

Explanation:

Let M be the number of correct math problems solved during the morning session and A be the number of correct math problems solved during the afternoon session.

The total number of points earned on the first day can be represented by the equation: 2M + 3A

This equation states that the total number of points earned on the first day is equal to twice the number of correct math problems solved during the morning session plus three times the number of correct math problems solved during the afternoon session.
