Question

Tim answered all the questions on his math test but got 10 answers wrong. He received 4 points for every correct answer, and there was no penalty for wrong answers. His score was 76 points.

Write an equation to determine the total number of questions (q) left parenthesis, q, right parenthesis on Tim's math test

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is q = (76÷4) + 10

Step-by-step explanation: First divide 76 by 4 which will tell you how many question he got right. 19. Then just add 19 and 10 and you have your answer which is 29.

Answer 2

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!
