Answer:

<em>The Washington High School won the meet by scoring 162 points </em>

<em>The Johnson High School came in second place by scoring 159 points, 3 points less than the winner.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetics </u>

We need to perform a number of basic arithmetics operations and derive conclusions out of the results.

We know that

  • 10 points are awarded for each first-place finish
  • 8  points are awarded for each second-place finish
  • 7  points are awarded for each third-place finish

* Washington High School had 10 first-place finishes, 6 second-place finishes, and 2 third-place finishes.  

Total points: 10*10+6*8+2*7=162 total points

* Johnson High School had 8 first-place finishes, 9 second-place finishes, and 1 third-place finish.

Total points: 8*10+9*8+1*7=159 total points

* Roosevelt High School had 4 first-place finishes, 5 second-place finishes, and 4 third-place finishes.

Total points: 4*10+5*8+4*7=108 total points

* Lewis High School had 3 first-place finishes, 3 second-place finishes, and 6 third-place finishes.

Total points: 3*10+3*8+6*7=96 total points

The Washington High School won the meet by scoring 162 points

The Johnson High School came in second place by scoring 159 points, 3 points less than the winner.

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Salim can simplify that and the answer will be a^m^+^n

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because of the law of multiplying powers, which states that you can add the exponents if the base is the same. So, you just add m and n and put that as the exponent and you will have the answer.
