5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac
= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b
= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)
= 2a - 4b

3 * 79 = find amount of pages on average per book
= 237
237 * 58 = find amount of pages written for 58 books
=13746
James Patterson has written approximately 13,746 pages
Let the three numbers be x, y and z respectively, then
x + y + z = 62 . . . (1)
y = x - 4 . . . (2)
z = 4x . . . (3)
The above three expressions could be used to represent the numbers.
Solving the three equations, putting (2) and (3) into (1) gives
x + x - 4 + 4x = 62
6x - 4 = 62
6x = 62 + 4 = 66
x = 66/6 = 11
x = 11.
y = 11 - 4 = 7
z = 4(11) = 44
x = 11, y = 7, z = 44.
