Answer:
x=319
Explanation:
We know that Lia has 1552 more stickers than Mark. Let's represent the number of stickers Mark has with the variable "x". So, Lia would have "x + 1552" stickers.
Next, we are told that when Mark gave Lia 276 stickers, Lia had five times the amount of stickers than Mark. This means that "x + 1552 - 276" (the new amount of stickers Lia has after receiving 276 from Mark) is equal to 5 times the amount of stickers Mark has, which is "5x".
So, we can set up an equation to solve for "x":
x + 1552 - 276 = 5x
Simplifying the equation, we get:
x + 1276 = 5x
Subtracting "x" from both sides, we get:
1276 = 4x
To solve for "x", divide both sides by 4:
x = 1276 / 4
Calculating this, we find:
x = 319
