Solve the following word problems. 1. Hall A has a chairs. The number of chairs in Hall B is 4 times as many as Hall
A. Hall C has 15 chairs more than Hall A, while Hall D has la + 8) chairs more
than Hall B.
la) Find the total number of chairs in the halls. Give your answer in terms of q.
(b) What is the average number of chairs in each hall?
Give your answer in terms of q.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a , b , c & d be the no. of chairs in hall A , B , C & D respectively.

Given,

b = 4a

c = a + 15

d = a + 8 + 4a = 5a + 8

Now,

Total no. of chairs (T) = a + b + c + d

                                   = a + 4a + a + 15 + 5a + 8

                                   = 11a + 23

Now,

Average chairs in each hall (Avg) = T/4

                                                       = (11a + 23)/4

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
