We'll represent Louise's, Tammy's, Delores's, and Sheryl's point values with 
, 
, 
, and 
respectively since each one is 1 point more than the last.
Add all of these values up and set it all equal to 
.
Now, simplify.
Subtract 
on both sides.
Divide both sides by 
.
Since Louise's score is , the answer is 
.
<h3>Double-checking</h3>
To verify our answer, add the point totals , 
, 
, and 
.
This equals , so we can be sure the answer is correct.
Count the votes, counting each sophomore ballot as 1.5 votes and each freshmen ballot as 1 vote.
ur doing this because there is 200 more freshmen then sophomores...and if u count each sophomore vote as 1.5, it would make up for the 200 more freshmen
Hello there!
The sum of two numbers (x + y) is 8 (=8).
Their product (x * y) is 15 (=15).
x + y = 8
x * y = 15
First, we know that the two number must be positive and under 8, as the product is positive.
Let's list out some numbers that are from 1 to 8 that sum up to 8;
1 + 7
2 + 6
3 + 5
4 + 4
Now, we need to multiply the two numbers that add up to 8, and see which makes a product of 15.
1 * 7 = 7, this does not work.
2 * 6 = 12, this does not work.
3 * 5 = 15, this works!
4 * 4 = 16, this does not work.
Since we are looking for the larger number in our pairs, let's pick the largest one out of the correct pair, which is 5.
The largest number is 5.
I hope this helps!
B is the answer hope this helps :)
Answer:
Can' possible......
Step-by-step explanation:
Let suppose the numbers are:
x
x + 1
x + 2
Now according to given condition:
x + x +1 + x+ 2 = -206
By adding we get:
3x + 3 = -206 Subtracting 3 from both sides:
3x + 3 - 3 = -206 -3
Both terms on right side have negative sign so we will add them. (answer will have negative sign.)
3x = -209
Dividing both sides by 3:
x = -209/3
x = -69.6666
that is not an integer so the question is wrong.
I hope it will help you!
