Answer:
There were (4x + 2) grapes in the bowl
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the total number of grapes in the bowl.
We have 3 people sharing the total
Damien are x grapes
Jake ate 1 more than twice what Damien and that is (1 + 2x) grapes
Makayla ate 5 fewer grapes than Damien: So what Makayla ate is (x-5) grapes
And now, we have 6 grapes left.
To find the total number of grapes in the bowl, we need to add up all what they ate plus what is left.
Mathematically, that would be;
x + 1 + 2x + x -5 + 6
= 4x + 2
-2 = -(x-8)
-2 = -x + 8 ( - * + = - and - * - = + )
-2 - 8 = -x +8 - 8
-2 - 8 = -x
-(2+8) = - x
-10 = -x | * (-1)
x=10
