Janice buys 74 packs of gum in a variety flavors. She chooses twice as many packs of green apple gun as packs of spearmint gum and 6 fewer packs of cinnamon gun than packs of green apple gum. How many packs of spearmint gum does Janice buy?

Sagot :

Answer:

16 packs of spearmint gum

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. of packs of spearmint gum

2x = no. of packs of green apple gum

2x - 6 = no. of packs of cinnamon gum

x + 2x + 2x - 6 = 74

5x - 6 = 74

5x = 80

x = 16 packs of spearmint gum

2x = 2(16) = 32 packs of green apple gum

2x - 6 = 32 - 6 = 26 packs of cinnamon gum
