Question

Jenny earned 104 of a possible 140 points on a test. She lost 4 points for each incorrect answer. How many incorrect answers did she have? PLS HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer 1

9 questions incorrect

Explanation:

Make an Equation

104+x(4)=140

X is for incorrect answers and since each incorrect answer is Worth 4, multiply x by 4. The 104 is the point Jenny orignally got so we put that in the equation to find how many Incorrect she got.

Solve the equation

104+4x=140 Subtract 104 on both sides

4x=36 Divide 4 on both sides

x=9 X=9

Answer 2

Jenny had 9 incorrect answers.

Explanation:

We know that Jenny earned 104 of a possible 140 points on a test.

140 - 104 = 36

We also know that she lost 4 points for every incorrect answer.

36 ÷ 4 = 9

Therefore, Jenny had 9 incorrect answers.

Hope this helps! :D
