Adam and Bryan have some stickers.
14 of Adam's stickers is 7 less than
17 of Bryan's stickers.
Let
14 of Adam's stickers be 1 u.
- Number of stickers that Adam has = _____
- Number of stickers that Bryan has = _____
- Total number of stickers = _____
- Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam = _____
(a)
14 of Adam's stickers = 1 u
44 of Adam's stickers = 4 u
(b)
17 of Bryan's stickers =
14 of Adam's stickers + 7
17 of Bryan's stickers = 1 u + 7
77 of Bryan's stickers = 7(1 u + 7) = 7 u + 49
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 4 u + 7 u + 49
= 11 u + 49
(d)
Difference in the number of stickers between Bryan and Adam
= 7 u + 49 - 4 u
= 7 u - 4 u + 49
= 3 u + 49
Answer(s): (a) 4 u; (b) 7 u + 49; (c) 11 u + 49; (d) 3 u + 49
