Answer 1

Consider the complete question is "Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks. The number of trees they chop down is given by b+2c+3j, where b is the number of hours Ben spends chopping, c is the number of hours Cam spends chopping, and j is the number of hours Justin spends chopping. How many trees do they chop down after Ben spends 8 hours chopping, Cam spends 3 hours chopping, and Justin spends 4 hours chopping?"

Given:

Total number of trees chopped by them =
`b+2c+3j`

b = number of hours Ben spends chopping = 8

c = number of hours Cam spends chopping = 3

j = number of hours Justin spends chopping = 4

To find:

The numerical value of total number of trees chopped by them.

Solution:

Total number of trees chopped by them =
`b+2c+3j`

Put
`b=8, c=3` and
`j=4` in the given expression.

`Total=8+2(3)+3(4)`

`Total=8+6+12`

`Total=26`

Therefore, total number of trees chopped by them is 26.
