Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a + d + m + r = 16

a = d + 3......d = a - 3

a = m + 2.......m = a - 2

m = r + 1.......r = m - 1.......r = (a - 2) - 1......r = a - 3

a + (a - 3) + (a - 2) + (a - 3) = 16

4a - 8 = 16

4a = 16 + 8

4a = 24

a = 24/4

a = 6 <==== andrew scored 6

d = a - 3.....d = 6 - 3.....d = 3 <=== danielle scored 3

m = a - 2......m = 6 - 2.....m = 4 <==== mel scored 4

r = a - 3......r = 6 - 3 ......r = 3.......renee scored 3
