Question

Rudy, Maria, and Tito have a total of x textbooks Rudy has 6 textbooks andTito and Maria each have y textbooks. How many textbooks does Tito have interms of x ?

Answer 1

Tito have
`(x-6)/(2)` textbooks in terms of x

Explanation:

Rudy has 6 textbooks

We are given that Tito and Maria each have y textbooks

So, Tito has no. of books = y

Maria has no. of books = y

So, total number of textbooks = 6+y+y=6+2y

We are given that Rudy, Maria, and Tito have a total of x textbooks

So,6+2y=x

So, 2y=x-6

`y=(x-6)/(2)`

Hence Tito have
`(x-6)/(2)` textbooks in terms of x
