Answer:

<em>There are 21 jelly beans in the jar.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the number of jelly beans in the jar is  x

Two were off by 2, two were off by 3, two were off by 4. That means, the six guessed number will be:  (x+2), (x-2), (x+3), (x-3), (x+4), (x-4)

Given that, Alice guessed 25; Betty, 18; Clare, 23; Dotty, 19; Edith, 24; and Fran, 17.

So, the sum of all six guessed number will be:  25+18+23+19+24+17=126

Thus, the equation will be..........

(x+2)+(x-2)+(x+3)+(x-3)+(x+4)+(x-4)= 126\\ \\ 6x= 126\\ \\ x=\frac{126}{6}=21

So, the number of jelly beans in the jar is 21.

How to work this problem
Mazyrski [523]
7x + 9y = - 27_________eq1
3x - y = 3__________eq2
Multiply eq 2 by 9 and then add the resulting eq with eq1.

eq2 x 9 gives us   27x - 9y = 27___________eq3
 
add eq3 with eq1 we get.
34x = 0.
where x=0/34
x=0.
substitute x into any of the above equations to get y.
substitute x into eq1. we get:
7(0) + 9y =-27
9y = -27
y= -27/9
y = -3.
