Answer:

kindergarten = 88

first = 73

second = 68

third = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

365=k+f+s+t

2s=t

s+5=f

f+15=k

USE SUBSTITUTION

365=((s+5)+15) + (s+5) + s + (2s)

365=5s+25

-25     -25

340=5s

/5      /5

68=s

PLUG IN

t=2(68)=136

f=(68)+5=73

k=(73)+15=88

CHECK

68+136+73+88=365
