Question

Mei bought a box of markers for b dollars, a shoulder bag that cost twice as much as the box of markers, and a pen that cost $6 less than the shoulder bag. Write the cost of the pen in terms of b.

Answer 1

c = 2b - 6

If the box of markers cost $4, then the shoulder bag would cost $8, and the pen would cost $2, for example.
