Answer: (a) 4x + 10(0) = 76

(b) 29questions

Step-by-step explanation: let the correct answer = x.

4points for correct answer each total 4xpoints

Since no penalty for wrong answers, his total points were 76points.

Equation: 4x = 76

x = 19. He scored 19 correct answers.

Total number of questions on the test = 19 correct answers + 10 wrong answers

29 questions
