Answer 2

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of questions that Tim got right in the math test.

The number of questions that Tim got wrong in the math test is 10.

If the total number of questions on the math test is q, it means that

x + 10 = q

If he received 4 points for every correct answer and there was no penalty for wrong answers, it means that he received 0 point for a wrong answer. If

his score was 76 points, it means that

4x + 0 × 10 = 76

4x = 76

Therefore, the required equations are

x + 10 = q

4x = 76
