First, distribute the 1/4.
= 1/4x + 1/4 * 16 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - x
= 1/4x + 4 - 4/4x
= 1/4x - 4/4x + 4
= -3/4x + 4

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
.
To verify our answer, add the point totals ,
,
, and
.
This equals , so we can be sure the answer is correct.
