(a)
Adam has 40 stickers less than Bryan.
Charlie has 70 stickers more than Adam.
Let the number of stickers that Bryan has be 1 u.
Adam has 40 stickers less than Bryan.
Number of stickers that Adam has = 1 u - 40
(b)
Charlie has 70 stickers more than Adam.
Number of stickers that Charlie has
= 1 u - 40 + 70
= 1 u + 30
(c)
Total number of stickers
= 1 u - 40 + 1 u + 30 + 1 u
= 1 u + 1 u + 1 u - 40 + 30
= 3 u - 10
