Question

Jonathan, Lucas, and Kiley are in a book

club. This past week, Lucas read six less
pages than Kiley read. Jonathan read two
times the amount of pages that Lucas.
read., Altogether, they read 122 pages.
how many pages did each person read? PLS HELP ME

Answer 1

Lucas 29

Kiley 35

Jonathan 58

Explanation:

Kiley = Lucas + 6

Jonathan = 2 x Lucas

Kiley + Lucas + Jonathan = 122

1. Replace Kiley and Jonathan with information we have

K + L + J = 122

(L+6) + L + (2L) = 122

4L + 6 = 122

4L = 122 - 6

L = 116/4 = 29

2. Replace Lucas with 29, you have

Kiley = 29 + 6 = 35

Jonathan = 2 × 29 = 58
