Question

Write an expressionNick has x toy race cars. This is one third of what Bob has. How many toy race cars does Bob have?

Answer 1

Given:

Nick has x toy race cars. This is one-third of what Bob has.

So, the number of Nick toys = one-third of what Bob has.

Let the Bob has y toys

So, we can write the following expression:

$x=\frac{1}{3}y$

Solve for y, multiply both sides by (3):

$y=3x$

So, the answer will be:

Bob has (3x) toy race cars.
