Votes received by Wayne is 112

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

<em><u>Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne</u></em>

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x  ---- eqn 1

<em><u>Neal received twenty less votes than Juan</u></em>

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

<em><u>Kerry got half as many votes as Neal</u></em>

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = \frac{4x - 20}{2}  ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112

2x + y = −3 −2y = 6 + 4x Write each equation in slope-intercept form.
Zanzabum

slope intercept form is y=mx+b

so solve for y


2x+y=-3

minus 2x both sides

y=-2x-3


-2y=6+4x

divide both sides by -2

y=-3-2x

y=-2x-3
