A science test, which is worth 100 points, consists of 24 questions. Each question is worth either 3 points or 5 points. If x is the number of 3-point questions and y is the number of 5-point questions, the system shown represents this situation.x + y = 243x + 5y = 100What does the solution of this system indicate about the questions on the test?
