Use reasoning to lead to the answer of the following question:
Paul, a biology teacher, assigns 265 points in the first quarter. There are 4 times as many test points as quiz points, and 5 more quiz points than homework points. How many homework points are there in the first quarter?

40
Let x represent the number of homework points.

Quiz:x + 5.

Test:4(x + 5) = 4x + 20.

Total:x + x + 5 + 4x + 20 = 265.

6x + 25 = 265.

6x = 240.

x = 40 points.

.

So, the final answer is 40
