Answer: 8 short response questions and 12 multiple choice questions

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent multiple choice questions

Let s represent short response questions

m + s = 20 --> Amount of questions

3 m + 8 s = 100 --> Total number of points for each question

Solve using elimination, multiply the first equation by -3

-3m-3s=-60

3 m + 8 s = 100

----------------------

5s=40

s=8

m+8=20

m=20-8

m=12

Therefore, there are 8 short response questions and 12 multiple choice questions
