Respuesta :

Answer:

Jenny had 9 incorrect answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Jenny earned 104 of a possible 140 points on a test.

140 - 104 = 36

We also know that she lost 4 points for every incorrect answer.

36 ÷ 4 = 9

Therefore, Jenny had 9 incorrect answers.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

9 questions incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an Equation

104+x(4)=140

X is for incorrect answers and since each incorrect answer is Worth 4, multiply x by 4. The 104 is the point Jenny orignally got so we put that in the equation to find how many Incorrect she got.

Solve the equation

104+4x=140 Subtract 104 on both sides

4x=36   Divide 4 on both sides

x=9   X=9
