Question

Troy ate 3 more slices than Lisa together they ate 7 Lisa ate? domain of solution (1,2,3,4) a)define variables b)write algebraic expression each person ate

Answer 1

Let's say lisa ate n slices, well troy ate 3 more slices so it would be 3+n.
Troy 3+n
Lisa n

combine

3+n+n = 3+2n =7

3+2n = 7
-3 -3

2n = 4

n = 2

so lisa ate 2 slices
and troy ate 2+3 = 5 slices.
