Matt has 7 times more stickers than David. if David has d stickers and Matt has m stickers, and Matt gives David 5 stickers, how many stickers does each have in terms of d? In terms of d, how many stickers does Matt have after giving David 5 stickers? d = ______ stickers

Respuesta :

Since Matt has 7 times more stickers than David and David has d stickers, then Matt has 7d stickers. Additionally, that quantity is represented by m since Matt has m stickers. Then:

[tex]m=7d[/tex]

After giving 5 stickers to David, the amount of stickers that Matt has will be:

[tex]7d-5[/tex]

The amount of stickers that David has will be:

[tex]d+5[/tex]

Therefore, the amount of stickers that Matt has after giving David 5 stickers (in terms of d), is:

[tex]7d-5[/tex]
