Vaidev has $14. Luke has $4
n more than Vaidev. Glen has $2
n less than Luke.
- Find the amount of money that Glen has in terms of n.
- Find the total amount of money that the three boys have in terms of n.
- If n = 6, how much does Glen have?
(a)
Amount that Vaidev has = $14
Amount that Luke has = $(14 + 4
n)
Amount that Glen has
= 14 + 4
n - 2
n = $(14 + 2
n)
(b)
Total amount that the three boys have
= 14 + 14 + 4
n + 14 + 2
n= 14 + 14 + 14 + 4
n + 2
n = $(42 + 6
n)
(c)
Amount that Glen has
= 14 + 2
n= 14 + 2 x 6
= 14 + 12
= $26
Answer(s): (a) $(14 + 2
n) or $(2
n + 14); (b) $(42 + 6
n) or $(6
n + 42); (c) $26
