27 Students In A Class Had One Vote Each For A Class Captain., They Voted For Ben, Erin Or Tim., Ben Got 3 More Votes Than Erin., Ben Got 6 More Votes

27 students in a class had one vote each for a class captain.

They voted for Ben, Erin or Tim.
Ben got 3 more votes than Erin.
Ben got 6 more votes than Tim.
How many votes did Ben get?

Number of votes for Ben = x

Number of votes for Erin = y

Number of votes for Tim = z

x + y + z = 27 ----(1)

Given,

x = y+3

or, y=x-3 ----(2)

x=z+6

or, z=x-6 ---(3)

Substitute (3) and (2) in (1)

x + (x-3) + (x-6) = 27

3x-9=27

x=(27+9)/3= 12

Ben got 12 votes
