answer below:
Step-by-step explanation:
so let's do the inverse.
if Susan's score was 12 more than 2 times jen’s score, than we can work out her score by doing the inverse.
if susans score was 82, we need to minus 12 from her score and divide by 2 to get jen’s score.
82-12=70
70/2 =35.
thus, susan scored 35 marks.
Solution:
Note that:
- S = 2J + 12
- S = 82
Substitute the value of s into the equation to find out Jen's score.
- S = 2J + 12
- => 82 = 2J + 12
- => 82 - 12 = 2J
- => 70 = 2J
- => J = 70/2 = 35
Jen's score was 35.
