•16

Respuesta :

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of 2-point questions on the test as per given condition is equals to 8.

What is equation?

" Equation is defined as the relation between the given quantities with the sign of equality."

According to the question,

Total number of questions in a test = 28

Total points allotted for test = 100

Questions distribution as per points :

2-point questions, 4-point questions, and 5-point questions

'x' represents the 5-point questions

As per condition given,

Number of 2-point questions = 2x

Number of( 2-point  +  4-point +  5-point ) questions = 28

⇒ 2x + 4-point questions  + x = 28

⇒ 4-point questions  = 28 - 3x

Substitute the value in the given condition of the equation we get,

[tex]2(2x) + 4(28 - 3x) + 5(x) = 100[/tex]

⇒[tex]4x + 112-12x +5x=100[/tex]

⇒ [tex]112 -3x =100[/tex]

⇒[tex]3x= 112-100[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=4[/tex]

Number of 2-point questions [tex]=2x[/tex]

                                                [tex]=2(4)[/tex]

                                                [tex]=8[/tex] questions

Hence, number of 2-point questions on the test as per given condition is equals to 8.
