x + y = 19

10x + 4y = 100

This is a systems of equations. 

Isolate x from the first equation:
x = 19 - y

Now, plug it into the second:

10(19 - y) + 4y = 100
190 - 10y + 4y = 100
-6y + 190 = 100
-6y = -90
y = 15

Plug y in and solve for x:
10x + 4(15) = 100
10x + 60 = 100
10x = 40
x = 4

There are four 10-point questions and fifteen 4-point questions.
