“Kenny spent one hour more than Lucas studying for their Chemistry test. Andrea spent one hour less than twice the hours Lucas spent studying for the test. If together they spent fourteen hours studying, how many hours did Lucas study?”
please show work!

Answer 1

Hours for Lucas =x
Hours for Kenny=x+1
hours for Andrea=2x-1
Total =14 hours

So, x+x+1+2x+1=14

then, 4x+2=14

Answer 2

I dont think is 3

if u check::
3+ (3+1) + (2*3)-1)= 7 + (6-1)
= 7 + 5
= 12
12 not equqal to 14
