Answer:

170

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations derived from given info.

  • P=2J
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Use some substitution now.

  • P=2(E+40)
  • J=E+40
  • P+J+E=300

Substitute first and second equation into third.

  • 2(E+40)+E+40+E=300
  • 2E+80+E+40+E=300
  • 4E+120=300
  • 4E=180
  • E=45

Emily has 45 stickers. But we want to know what Peter has.

Use P=2(E+40)

  • P=2(45+40)
  • P=90+80
  • P=170

Peter has 170 stickers.

iragen [17]

The student made the mistake in Step 2.

It should be m∠o + m∠p = 180 (Supplementary angles)

If this is corrected, then, since m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = 180 from Step 1,

we have,

m∠m + m∠n + m∠o = m∠o + m∠p which is Step 3.

Cancelling m∠o both sides, we get,

m∠m + m∠n = m∠p which is Step 4.
