Answer 1

it will be .....

...39

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 37

Step-by-step explanation:

It is 114 not 144.

3m + 4a = 85 ..(1)

5a + 6p = 122 ..(2)

6m + 2p = 114 ..(3)

(1) x 2 => 6m + 8a = 170

(3) => 6m + 2p = 114

Solving we get 8a – 2p = 56 ..(4)

(2) => 5a + 6p = 122

3 x (4) = 24a – 6p = 168

Solving we get a = 10, p = 12, m = 15

So a + p + m = 37
