Margo is taking a 160-point history test

that has a total of 50 questions. Some of the

questions are worth 6 points each, and the others

are worth 2 points each. Which system of linear

equations could be used to find, s, the correct

number of six-point questions, and t, the correct

number of two-point questions answered

correctly?

• s + 6 = 160

  6t + 2s = 50

• 6s = 2t

  s + t = 160

• 6s = 2t

  6s + 2t + 50 = 160

• s + t = 50

  6s + 2t = 160
