Answer 1

Answer: There are 10 two points and 16 five points questions.

Explanation:

This is the detailed question:

A language arts test is worth 100 points. There are a total of 26 questions. There are spelling word questions that are worth 2 points each and vocabulary word questions worth 5 points each. How many of each type of question is there?

Let y = the number of 2 points questions

Let z = the number of 5 points questions

y + z = 26 ......... i

2y + 5z = 100 ........ ii

Multiply equation i by 2

Multiply equation ii by 1

2y + 2z = 52 ......... iii

2y + 5z = 100 ....... iv

Subtract iv from iii

-3z = -48

z = 48/3

z = 16

Since y + z = 26

y = 26 - 16

y = 10

y = 10 two points questions

z = 16 five points questions

There are 10 two points and 16 five points questions.
