The system of equations shown can be used to find the number of multiple-choice questions, m, and the number of free-response questions, f, on the test.

m + f = 15

3m + 5f = 51

How many multiple-choice questions are on the test?

5
12

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that:

m + f = 15 ---> 3m + 3f = 45
3m + 5f = 51

3m + 3f = 45
3m + 5f = 51
-------------------
-2f = -6
f = 3

m + f = 15 
m = 15 - 3
m = 12

So the correct answer is 12.
