In order to solve this problem, we must solve an equation.
First, we need to define our unknown.
Let's call our number "n".
So, the sum of the number and 6 is the same as saying n+6
Then we need to multiply it by 2 (since it's twice the sum)
2(n+6)
This whole thing is equal to three times of the difference of the number and 8
n-8 is equal to the difference between the number and 8, then we need to multiply it by three.
3(n-8)
now, we set both sides equal and solve
The number is 36
Answer:
Tommy had 56 cents in start and Loren had 7 cents in start.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
x be the money Tommy have.
y be the money Loren have.
According to given statement;
Tommy had 8 times more money than Loren.
x = 8y Eqn 1
Parents gave 35 cents to Loren and Tommy spent 14 cents, therefore
x-14=y+35 Eqn 2
Putting x=8y in Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 7
Putting y=7 in Eqn 1
Hence,
Tommy had 56 cents in start and Loren had 7 cents in start.
