Answer 1

Given that:

• Louise Tammy Dolores and Cheryl score 78 points in the tennis matches they play.

• A score consecutive number of points from smallest to greatest in respect to the order of the names: Louise Tammy Dolores and Cheryl.

Let be:

- The number of points that Louise scored in the tennis matches:

$n$

- The number of points that Tammy scored in the tennis matches:

$n+1$

-The number of points that Dolores scored in the tennis matches:

$n+2$

- The number of points that Cheryl scored in the tennis matches:

$n+3$

You can set up the following equation to represent the total number of points they scored in the tennis matches:

$n+(n+1)+(n+2)+(n+3)=78$

Now you can solve for "n":

$n+n+1+n+2+n+3=78$$4n+6=78$$4n=78-6$$\begin{gathered} n=\frac{72}{4} \\ \\ n=18 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the answer is: Option D.
