Question

ky has 3 times more books than grant grant has 6 fewer books than Jaime if the total combined number of books is 176 how many books does Jaime have?

Answer 1

Set up the equation

x+(x-6)+3(x-6)=176

x+x-6+3x-18=176

5x-24=176

5x=176+24

5x=200

x=40

Jamie has 40 books

Grant has 34

Ky has 102
