Answer 1

??????????? "2x as much" ?????????

maebee yu meen sumthun1=2*sumthun2 ??????????????

(1)   yer first statement become...j=a+160....NOT a+160=j

(2)   y=2*a

(3) "total=440"...me assume yu meen a+j+y=440

a+j+y=a+(a+160) +(2a)....4a+160=440

4a=440-160=280

a=280/4

a=70

Answer 2

First you simply divide 440 by 2.Then you have 220 for how much A has.Then you add 160 to 220 the nyou get 380 witch is A's votes then you add 220 and 380 and 440.Altogther they have 1,140.
