Respuesta :

Answer:  B. 13.75

First write out the equation you need to solve

1x - 0.25y = total score

Second fill in the known information

1(15) - 0.25(5) = total score

Now solve your equation

15 - 1.25 = total score

13.75 = total score

Her score for the game will be 13.75. Then the correct option is B.

What is the linear system?

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

Jamie plays a trivia game.

She earns 1 point for each correct (W) answer and loses 0.25 points for each incorrect (L) answer.

Then the total points is given as

Total point = W – 0.25L

She gets 15 correct answers and 5 incorrect answers.

Then her score for the game will be

Total point = 15 – 0.25 x 5

Total point = 13.75

Then the correct option is B.
