Thalia, a quiz show contestant, answered 20 questions. She was awarded 2 points for every correct answer that she gave, but she was penalized 1 point for every incorrect answer. In the end, Thalia had a total of 28 points. In order to determine the number of correct and incorrect answers that she gave, a viewer at home used the system of linear equations x + y = 20 and 2 x + y = 28, with x being the number of correct answers and y being the number of incorrect answers. The viewer solved the system by using the linear combination method as shown. x + y = 20. + StartFraction Negative 2 x minus y = negative 28 over Negative x = negative 8 EndFraction. StartFraction negative x Over negative 1 EndFraction = StartFraction negative 8 Over negative 1 EndFraction. X = 8.
8 + y = 20. 8 + y minus 8 = 20 minus 8. y = 12.
