1. x - 6; Mark has 6 less dollars than Kim. Let x be the number of dollars Kim has.
2. 2(x/2); Robert lost half his money in the stock market last week, and then doubled that amount this week.
3. 4(x - 8); 4 people spent $8 on a movie. How much money (x) did each person have before seeing the movie?
Each number is being multiplied by 3.

Answer:
Let us assume the total number of students surveyed = x
Then
Number of students preferring red = x/4
Number of students preferring blue = x/8
Then
Number of students remaining = x - [(x/4) + (x/8)]
=x - [(2x + x)/8)
= x - (3x/8)
= (8x - 3x)/8
= 5x/8
Number of students preferring the color green = (3/5) * (5x/8)
= 3x/8
We also know that the total number of students preferring the color green is 15
So
3x/8 = 15
3x = 15 * 8
x = (15 * 8)/3
= 5 * 8
= 40
So in total 40 students were surveyed. I hope the procedure is clear to you.
