Answer 1

Set-up equations

1) x - 7 + 3 + 6 - 8 + 1 - 6 = 3
x + 10 - 21 = 3
x - 11 = 3
x = 13

2) x - 12.00 + 15.00 - 7.00 - 8.50 + 8.00
+ 2.00 = 22.25

You solve

3)
Miguel
x + 15 - 4 + 6 - 17 + 22 + 14 = 40

Yoshi
x + 12 - 4 + 33 - 7 = 40
You solve

4)
3:35--plane
2:00--less 2h
1:35--check-in
1:35--less to get to airport
12:00--noon
00:45--less 45 min talking

00:45---45 min talking
12:00---time now
1:35---1 hr 35 min trip to airport
1:35---time now at airport
2:00---2 hrs early for check-in
