Acity in the country determines public servants different than usual. the city asks citizens to rank candidates and the person with the highest point total wins. first place votes get 4 points, second place votes get 2 points and third place votes get 1 point. if john tyler received 867 first place votes, 301 second place votes and 432 third place votes, how many total points did he obtain? a) 1600 b) 2467 c) 3370 d) 4502

use distributive property on all like terms and change your signs if you have a double negative or if you have positive/negative

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.

the terms in pattern b are 4 times the terms in pattern a
