Louann= 14x+24
Carla= 16x+14
So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it.
First attempt:
14(7)+24=16(7)+14
98+24=112+14
122=126
Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x.
Second attempt:
14(6)+24=16(6)+14
84+24=96+14
108=110

So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5.

So now I going to do 5 for x
Third attempt:
14(5)+24=16(5)+14
70+24=80=14
94=94

And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D
