Answer:

Score with questions wrong:20-2(x)=12

Score with x questions wrong: 20-2x

Explanation:

Since Peyton loses 2 points for every question wrong, she would lose 2 x 4, or 8 points when getting 4 questions wrong. Since the test is out 20 points, her final score would be 20-8 or 12 points. (Note, this is an answer for delta math.)

Given :

Peyton is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 20 points available. Each question is worth exactly 2 points.

To Find :

Peyton's test score (out of 20) if she got 4 questions wrong.

Solution :

Total numbers of questions are 20/2 = 10 questions.

Points after getting 4 questions wrong :

P = 2( 10 - 4 )

P = 12

Therefore, her score after getting 4 questions wrong is 12.

Hence, this is the required solution.
