In an examination adenike obtained 19 marks more than musa.
If adenike had obtained one and a half time her own marks she would have scored 6 marks more than Musa’s marks.
Find the marks scored by each of them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let A be the Adenika's mark (=score);
let M be the Musa's mark (score).
Then, according to the problem
A - M = 19 (1) ("In an examination adenike obtained 19 marks more than musa")
1.5A - M = 6 (2) ("If adenike had obtained one and a half time her own marks she would have scored 6 marks more than Musa’s marks")
It leads then, after subtracting equation (1) from equation (2) that
0.5A = 6 - 19 = -13,
or
A = - 26.
So A is negative value.
Since it is IMPOSSIBLE, it means that something is WRONG with your initial / original formulation.
