Answer:
Carmen's score is 75 strokes.
Linda's score is 81 strokes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the score of Linda be "x".
<em>It is given that Carmen's golf score is 6 strokes less than Linda's.</em>
Thus, Carmen's score is (x-6).
The total score of the girls is
=
The total score is given to be 156.
Thus, the equation becomes,
<em>Thus Linda's score is 81 and Carmen's score is (156-81) 75.</em>
Answer:
225
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the basic components of summation ∑
∑n = n(n + 1) and ∑1 = n
Thus
∑ (2n - 1) ← for n = 1 to 15
= ∑2n - ∑1
= 2∑n - ∑1
= 2 ( n(n + 1)) - n
= n(n + 1) - n ← Evaluate for n = 15 ( the upper value )
= 15 × 16 - 15
= 240 - 15
= 225
