julie Jenny and Amy made bracelets. Julie made 3 times as many as Amy. Jenny made 1 more than twice the number julie made. let x represent the number Amy made

Question

X represent the number Amy made

Answer 1

Let's define all of our variables. Amy will be x, Jenny will be y, and Julie will be e; b will be total number of bracelets.

Here's what we know:

e = 3x

y = e + 1

b = x + y + e

 

Let's put in our variable values:

b = x + (e + 1) + 3x

b = x + 3x + 1 + 3x

Now we combine our like terms:

b = 7x + 1

 

That's as far as I can help you from here. Without a total number of bracelets, we cannot figure out how many each made. However, if you have that number yourself, you can solve that for yourself.
