Answer:
John received 10% of the overall votes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume that the number of votes John got = m
So, the number of votes Vivienne received = 3 times (John's share )
= 3 times m = 3 m
Also, The number of Votes Nassim received = 2 times ( Vivienne's share)
2 x (3 m) = 6 m
Total Votes in the grade 6
= Votes received by { John + Vivienne + Nassim}
= m + (3 m) + (6 m) = 10 m
Hence, the total number of students who voted in grade 6 = 10 m
= 
or, The percentage of John's Votes = 10%
Hence, John received 10% of the overall votes.
We can let
a = 1/(x-1)
b = 1/(y+2)
and rewrite the equations as
2a - b = 10
a + 3b = -9
Using the first to write an expression for b, we get
b = 2a - 10
Substituting this into the second equation gives
a + 3(2a -10) = -9
7a -30 = -9 . . . . . . . . simplify
7a = 21 . . . . . . . . . . .add 30
a = 3
b = 2·3 - 10 = -4
Now, we can find x and y.
3 = 1/(x -1)
x - 1 = 1/3
x = 1 1/3 = 4/3
-4 = 1/(y +2)
y +2 = -1/4
y = -2 1/4 = -9/4
Then the desired sum is
x + y = 4/3 -9/4 = (16 -27)/12
x + y = -11/12
The appropriate choice is ..
c. -11/12
