Answer 2

C. 15 votes

Explanation:

B= votes Billy got

K = votes Keeton got

B = 3K

B+K =20

Substitute the first equation into the second equation

3K + K =20

Combine like terms

4K =20

Divide both sides by 4

4K/4 = 20/4

K =5

Keeton got 5 votes

B = 3*K

B = 3*5

B = 15 votes

Billy got 15 votes
