Question

While shopping for clothes, Tracy Spent $38 less than 3 Times what Daniel spent. Write and solve an equation to find how much daniel spent. Let x represent how much daniel spent.

(Tracy spent $10)

Answer 1

x=16

Explanation:

x is how much daniel spent and tracy spent 10 which is 38 less that 3 times what daniel did. so you write the equation as 3x-38=10 because x is daniels spendage but times 3 so it is 3x- 38 because it says LESS so that is the que to subtract and it =10 because that is how much tracy spent.
