Brooklyn is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 40 points available. Each question is worth exactly 2 points. What would be Brooklyn's test score (out of 40) if she got 2 questions wrong? What would be her score if she got x questions wrong?
Score with 2 questions wrong:
Score with x questions wrong
If Brooklyn got 2 questions wrong, she would lose a total of 2 points. So her score would be 40 - 2 = <<40-2=38>>38 out of 40.
If Brooklyn got x questions wrong, she would lose a total of 2x points. So her score would be 40 - 2x out of 40.
