Alice has $15 more than Barry. Charlene has only 2 times of the amount of Barry's money. If Alice has x dollars, how much money do they have altogether?

Respuesta :

x=alice
b=barry
c=charlene

x=15 more than b
x=15+b

c=2 times of b
c=2b

all together
x+c+b
15+b+2b+b
15+4b
they have 15+4b or 15+4 times of barry
if we want in terms of x
x=15+b
x-15=b

15+4(b)
15+4(x-15)
15+4x-60
4x-45

they have 4x-45 together
