Question

The teacher tells the class that the highest marks obtained by a student in her class is four times the lowest marks plus $6$. The highest score is $65$. Form the equation which will calculate the lowest marks represented by $m$.

• A. $6m+65=4$
• B. $6m+4=65$
• C. $4m+6=65$
• D. $4m+65=6$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $4m+6=65$

The lowest marks is represented by $m$.
Four times of the lowest marks will be $4m$.
On adding $6$ to it, we get $4m+6$.
$4m+6$ represents the highest marks which is equal to 65.
Hence, we get the following equation:
$4m+6=65$

So, option (c) is the correct option.
