Pauline has 371 stickers. Karl, Serene, and Pauline have 1281 stickers altogether.
What is the equation?
A mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions with the same value is known as an equation.
Let Karl, Serene and Pauline have x, y, and z stickers.
Given condition;
Karl, Serene, and Pauline have 1281 stickers altogether;
x+y+z = 1281
Pauline had 3 times as many stickers as Serene.
z = 3 y
y=z/3
Karl had 175 stickers fewer than Pauline.
x=z -175
Substitute all the values in the terms of z;
x+y+z = 1281
z -175 + z/3 + z = 1281
8z/3 = 1281 +175
z=546
Pauline have;
x = z -175
x =546 -175
x = 371
Hence Pauline has 371 stickers.
