✔ 最佳答案
Let x be the number of correct answer she got,
and y be the number of wrong answer she got

eq1 : x+y=18
eq2 : 2x-1y=24

From eq1, x-y=18
x=18+y ------- eq3

Sub eq3 into eq2,
2(18-y)-y=24
36-2y-y=24
36-24=2y+y
3y=12
y=4

Sub y=4 into eq1
x+4=18
x=18-4
x=14

I'm not sure if my answers are correct
Just try !

Let correct answer be x and wrong answer be y

total marks = 24 = 2x-y -------------(1)
total questions = 18= x+y -----------(2)

Eq(1) + Eq(2): 42 = 3x
x = 14, y = 4
Total correct answer is 14
