Julio sold candles for three weeks. Let x represent the number of candles he sold the first week. He sold twice the number of candles the second week as he did the first week. In the third week, Julio sold 4 less than the number he sold the first week. Which expression represents the total number of candles Julio sold in the three weeks?

Respuesta :

The expression x+2x+(x-4) represents the number of candles Julio sold in three weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candles sold by Julio in first week.

According to given statement;

Candles sold in first week = x

He sold twice the number of candles the second week as he did the first week.

Candles sold in second week = 2x

In the third week, Julio sold 4 less than the number he sold the first week.

Candles sold in third week = x-4

Total candles sold = First week + Second week + Third week

Total candles sold = x+2x+(x-4)

The expression x+2x+(x-4) represents the number of candles Julio sold in three weeks.
