Students are given 3 minutes for each multiple-choice question and 5 minutes for each free-response question on a test. There are 15 questions on the test, and students are given 51 minutes to take it.
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?
