Question

Write an equation for the number of points, y Enrique scores on the test when he answers x questions correctly.
On his first geography test, Enrique answered 3 questions correctly. On his second test, Enrique answered 7 questions correctly.

Answer 1

Answer:
1. 3x = y
2. 7x= y.

Explanation:
If x is the amount of points each question that is answered correctly received then the coefficient that x is multiplied by will be the amount for each test.

For the first equation we have 3 as the amount answered correctly time x the points each one is worth = total points y.

For the second equation we have 7 as the amount answered correctly time x the points each one is worth = total points y .

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

→For, x correct answer number of points scored = y

For ,1 correct answer number of points scored$=\frac{y}{x}$

→The statement about the problem is

On his first geography test, Enrique answered 3 questions correctly. On his second test, Enrique answered 7 questions correctly.

Writing the statement in terms of equation

In First test

For, three correct answer number of points scored ,$=\frac{3 y}{x}$

As, it is given that number of correct answers is 3, and number of question is x, so total number of incorrect answer will be = x-3,

For, incorrect answer points scored will be =0

In Second test

For, seven correct answer number of points scored ,$=\frac{7 y}{x}$

As, it is given that number of correct answers is 7, and number of question is x, so total number of incorrect answer will be = x-7,

For, incorrect answer points scored will be =0

So, transforming the statement in terms of equation

Total number of points

   $\frac{3y}{x}+\frac{7y}{x}=\frac{10y}{x}$
