Eliana loves music, especially 80's punk rock. Eliana looked at the number of songs in her itunes account and she has 6 less than 4 times her best friend. Eliana's classmate David has 3 more than double her best friend. When talking to her Social Studies teacher, Eliana found out social study teacher has 7 more than two times the number of songs in his library than Eliana. Define a variable, then write and solve an equation. If the total number of songs is 382, how many songs does Eliana, her best friend, David and her social study teacher have?

bsf= 26

Eliana:98

SS teacher=203

David=55

Explanation:

m= music

bsf: m

eliana:4m-6

David:2m+3

SS teacher: 2(4m-6)+7

m+4m-6+2m+3+8m-12+7

382=15m-7

7+ +7

389=15m

/15m /15m

m=26

multiply 26 to each one of them
