ITS DUE IN 15 MINUTES PLS HELP. Challenge Schools A and B are competing in an academic contest. Correct answers earn 9 points,

Incorrect answers lose 6 points. In the final round, School A gives the same number of correct and
incorrect answers, School B gives no incorrect answers and the same number of correct answers as
School A. School A started the final round with 198 points, School B started with 72. The game ends
with the two schools tied. Let x represent the number of correct answers given by School A in the final
round. Write an equation that models the outcome of the contest. Then find the number of answers
that each school got correct in the final round,

Answer:

School A gave 12 correct and 12 incorrect answers. School B gave 12 correct answers and the competition was tied.

Explanation:

School A points = 174

School B points = 102

Every correct answer is awarded 10 points and every incorrect answer reduces 6 points.

Let x be the number of correct answer given by school A and thus x is the number of incorrect answer given by school A. The, school B also gives x number of correct answers
