Answer:

137 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election

dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates

= 681 / 5 = 136.2  hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method  would be = 137 votes

136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )

136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680

hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1

least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes

what is the equation of the line that passes through (-9,12) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=1/3x+6
BabaBlast [244]
Y=kx+b
line is perpendicular y=1/3x+6⇒ k=-\frac{1}{ \frac{1}{3} }=-3

 so line y=-3x+a
 this line that passes through (-9,12)⇔x=-9, y=12, so 12=-3(-9)+a
12=27+a
a=12-27
a=-15
y=-3x-15

3p + 7 = -4(4 - 6p) + 2
zvonat [6]

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

3p + 7 =  - 4(4 - 6p) + 2 \\ 3p + 7 =  - 16 + 24p + 2 \\ 3p - 24p =  - 16 + 2 - 7 \\  - 21p =  - 21

\frac{ - 21p}{ - 21}  =  \frac{ - 21}{ - 21}  \\ p = 1
