If c = 8 and d = -5:
a) c - 3 = 8 - 3
= 5
b) 15 - c = 15 - 8
= 7
c) 3(c + d) = 3(8 + (-5))
= 3*3
= 9
d) 2c - 4d = 2(8) - 4(-5)
= 16 + 20
= 36
e) d - c^2 = -5 - (8)^2
= -5 - 64
= -69
f) 2d^2 + 5d = 2(-5)^2 + 5(-5)
= 50 - 25
= 25
Number of cubes increases by 3 for each term.

Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
3/3 of the seashells = 76 x 3
3/3 of the seashells = 228
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: They had 228 seashells altogether.

3(-1.5) + 4 = -0.5
3(0.5) + 4 = 5.5
(12, 0)
12-9(0)=12
12-0=12
12=12
