Question

Carlotta spent $35 at the market. This was seven dollars less than three times what she spent at the book store; how much did she spend there?

Answer 1

`color(red)(x=14`

Explanation:

Let us assume the amount she spent there to be `x`

According to the question,

`=>3x-7=35`

`=>3x=35+7`

`3x=42`

`color(red)(x=14`

`therefore` She spent $14 at the bookstore.
