Answer: The answer is q = (76รท4) + 10

Answer:

4 (q - 10) = 76

q = 29

Explanation:

Solve this Equation :

Here "q" is the number of correct answer.

4 (q - 10) = 76

divide both sides by 4

1/4 * 4 (q - 10) = 76 / 4

q - 10 = 19

q - 10 + 10 = 19 + 10

add 10 to both sides

q = 29

So Tim answers correct to 29 questions.

Hope this helps!
