Question

while shopping for clothes, Tracy spent $38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent. write and solve an equation to find how much Daniel spent.

Answer 1

Answer:  $3x - 38$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Tracy spent in the cloths = $ x

Tracy spent $38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent

$\implies \text{ Daniel spent in the cloths} = 38 - 3 \times \text{ Tracy's spending in the cloths}$

= $38 - 3 x$

Which is the required expression of Daniel spending on the cloth.

Answer 2

Answer:

Daniel spent $\frac{1}{3}$times 38 more than Tracy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that  Tracy spent $38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent.

we have to find out the equation for how much Daniel spent

Let Daniel spent $x

Given that  Tracy spent $38 less than 3 times what Daniel spent.

∴ Tracy spent= $(3x-38)

Solve for x is

3x=Tracy spent + 38

⇒ $x=\frac{Tracy spent+38}{3}Hence, Daniel spent [tex]\frac{1}{3}$times 38 more than Tracy.
