On a math test, Stephen missed 3
computation problems and 1 word
problem for a total of 9 points off.
Brad missed 2 computation
problems and 2 word problems for a
total of 10 points off. This
relationship can be represented by
the system of equations below,
where x stands for the point value of
computation problems missed and y
stands for the point value of word
problems missed.
3x + y = 9
2x + 2y = 10
What is the point value for each
word problem?
A. 2 points
B.2 1/4
points
C. 2 1/2
points
D. 3 points
