  1. correct --- x
    incorrect --- 40-x

    6x - 3(40-x) = 105
    6x - 120 + 3x = 105
    9x = 225
    x = 25

    25 correct , 15 wrong

  4. correct --> x
    incorrect --> 40 - x

    6x - 3(40 - x) = 105
    6x - 120 + 3x = 105
    9x = 225
    x = 25

    There are 25 questions correct, and there are 15 questions incorrect due to 40 - 25 being 15. It's math, so respect it.
