Answer 1

Let x be the number of true/false questions she gets correct, and let y be the number of multiple choice questions she gets correct. She needs more than 85points on the exam to get an A in the class.
you can set it up as
2x + 5y >= 85

Answer 2

I agree with most of your response @jayzdd
the only issue is that the inequality sign should be `>` and not `>=`

Answer 3

if it said "at least 85 points" then yes you would use `>=`

Answer 4

Thank you!
