HISTORY TEST
You take a history test that has 100 regular points and 8 bonus points. You get a score of 91, which includes 4 bonus points. Let x represent the score you would have without the bonus points. Which equation represents this solution? Solve the equation.
X+4=91
X+4=91
x=-4=91-4
x=87
To solve this problem, we need to set up an equation that represents the scenario given and then solve for the unknown variable.
Let's use x to represent the score you would have without the bonus points.
We know that the total points for the test is 100 regular points plus 8 bonus points, which equals 108 points in total.
We also know that you got a score of 91, which includes 4 bonus points. This means that your score without the bonus points would be x minus the 4 bonus points.
So our equation would be: x - 4 = 91.
To solve this equation for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
x - 4 + 4 = 91 + 4
This simplifies to:
x = 95
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 95, which represents the score you would have without the bonus points.
