1. x − h o w man y bi sc u i t s ha s G e mma x + 4 x = 20 ⇔ 5 x = 20 ⇔ x = 4 ⇒ 4 x = 16 A n s . G e mma ha s 4 bi sc u i t s an d Z ak ha s 16 bi sc u i t s .
2. x − h o w man y ma r b l es ha s A s i f 7 x + x = 80 ⇔ 8 x = 80 ⇔ x = 10 ⇒ 7 x = 70 A n s . A s i f ha s 10 ma r b l es an d E mi l y ha s 70 ma r b l es .
3. 2 x − h o w man y p e n c i l s ha s N iamh 2 x + 3 x = 10 ⇔ 5 x = 10 ⇔ x = 2 ⇒ 2 x = 4 an d 3 x = 6 A n s . N iamh ha s 4 p e n c i l s an d J a c k ha s 6 p e n c i l s .
