Question

Answer the question don't do more work than necessary just get the answer

Answer 1

Let x be the number of candles Kelly sold.

Let y be the number of candles Jakeya sold. Jakeya sold 5 more candles than Kelly;

`y=x+5`

Also, let z be the number of candles Cindi sold. Cindi sold 1 less than twice as many candles as Kelly.

`z=2x-1`

Altogether, they sold 52 candles;

`x+y+z=52`

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine the number of candles that Kelly sold is;

`x+x+5+2x-1=52`
