2). Bill has twice as many candies as Fred. Tim has 3 fewer than 3 times as many candles as Fred.
In all, they have 177 candies. How many do they each have?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:-

[tex]\tt{Let \ the \ candies \ taken \ by \ Fred \ be \ x.}[/tex]

Now, let's Solve!

So, according to Question,

Bill = 2x

Tim = 3x-3

Total Candies = 177.

[tex]\bf{x+2x+3x-3=177}[/tex]

Totalling x,

[tex]\bf{6x-3=177}[/tex]

[tex]\bf{6x=177+3}[/tex]

[tex]\bf{6x = 180}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\sf{x = 30}}[/tex]

So, Fred has 30 candies.

Bill's Candies = 2×30 = 60 Candies

Tim's Candies = 3×30-3 = 90-3 = 87 Candies.

Hope it helps :)
