Given:
Steve gets 4 points for every correct answer and loses 1 point for every wrong answer.
Total question answered by Steve = 30
Total score = 20 points
To find:
The system of equations for the given problem.
Solution:
Let x be the number of correct answers and y be the number of wrong answers.
Total question answered by Steve = 30
[tex]x+y=30[/tex] ...(i)
Steve gets 4 points for every correct answer and loses 1 point for every wrong answer.
Score for 1 correct answer = 4
Score for x correct answer = 4x
Score for 1 wrong answer = -1
Score for y correct answer = -y
Total score = 20 points
[tex]4x-y=20[/tex] ...(ii)
The system of equations contains (i) and (ii).
Therefore, the system of equations have two equations [tex]x+y=30[/tex] and [tex]4x-y=20[/tex].
