alison, beatrice and chole each had some books. alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had, lastly chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

<h3>What is Working backward?</h3>

Working backward is process in which calculation done in reverse direction.

let alison, beatrice and chole has x,y and z books initially,

alison gave beatrice and chole some books that doubled the number of books they had
alison, beatrice and chole has (96-2y-2z), (2y) , (2z)
chole gave alison and beatrice some books that doubled the number of books they had. each of them had 32 books at the end.

alison, beatrice and chole has 2(96-2y-2z), 2(2y) , (96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)

at the end,
beatrice = 32

4y=32

y = 8

chole =32

96-2(96-2y-2z)-4y)=32
z=32

alison = 96-y-z

x=96-8-32
x=56

Thus the required alison, beatrice and chole each of them have at first 56, 8, 32 books.

Aiden says that equivalent expressions always have the same number of terms. Is Aiden correct? If he is, explain why. If he is n
ad-work [718]
No. Because for example

4+5 is 9, which has 2 terms (4,5)
BUT
3+5+1 also equals 9, which has 3 terms (3,5,1)

Both equations are equivalent to eachother, but do not have the same amount of terms. This also goes for multiplication.

10x10 is 100, which has 2 terms

BUT

5x10x2 is also 100, which has 3 terms, therefor the answer does not determine the amount of terms in an equation.
