Answer 1

Answer:

Tennesee has 9 representatives

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 15 from 27 to get 12

Figure out that 3 times 3 equals 9 and 9+3=12

Answer 2

Answer:9

Step-by-step explanation:

15:Michigan

N=New Mexico

If you put in terms of an equation:

15+New Mexico+(3*New Mexico(Tennessee))

15+N+3N=27

15+4N=27

4N=27-15

4N=12

N=3

If New Mexico has 3

Tennessee is 3 times the amount of New Mexico

3*3=9

Tennessee has 9 representatives

Hope this helps!
