Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{3}{7} x + 5 = 8

\frac{3}{7} x = 8-5

\frac{3}{7}  x = 3

x = 3 / \frac{3}{7}

x = 3 * \frac{7}{3} cancel 3

Then

x = 7

Bob = 12 x T
Sue= 8 (T +2)

12T = 8T + 16
12T-8T=8T-8T +16
4T = 16
4T/4 = 16/4
T= 4 HOURS

PLUG T BACK INTO
12(4) = 8(4) + 16
48=48

DISTANCE = 48 kilometers

Brian has 5 marbles, Sarah has 9 marbles, Jimi has 4 marbles, and Juan has 6 marbles. They want to redistribute the marbles so t

6 marbles per person.

If we count the number of marbles in total, we get 24: 5+9+4+6= 24

Now that we know the Total # of marbles, we need to know how many people we need to distribute marbles to. We count Brian, Sarah, Jimi, and Juan and get 4 people in total.

To find how many marbles each person needs to receive, we then need to do 24 divided by 4.

When we do this, we get 6 marbles per person.
