Re: An instructor scored a student's test of 50 questions by

If we let X equal the number of answers that are correct and W equal the number of answers that are incorrect, then we can create the following equations:
X + W = 50

W = 50 - X

and X - 2W = 38

When we make this exchange, we get:

X - 2(50 - X) = 38

X - 100 + 2X = 38

3X = 138

X = 46
