======================================================

Work Shown:

c = number of correct answers

w = number of wrong answers

n = number of questions not attempted

2c = points you get from all the correct answers

-1w = points you get from all the wrong answers

0n = points you get from all the questions attempted

2c-1w+0n = 2c-w = total number of points

In this case, she got 8 correct answers and 2 wrong answers. So c = 8 and w = 2 which leads to

2c-w = 2*8-2 = 16-2 = 14

Her total score is 14.
