Question

Which equation represents the number of points in the problem below?

A test is worth 60 points. Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and
short-answer questions are worth 5 points. If the test has 15 questions, how
many multiple-choice questions are there?

Answer 1

2m+5s=60

Explanation:

2m+5s=60

Since each multiple choice is 2 points, we have 2m and since every short answer is 5 points we have 5s. The total number of points is 60 so we have that equal to 60.

Answer 2

B
