Tim: X Puzzles.
Sam: X + 12.
Randy: (x + 12) - 17
Will: 2((x + 12) - 17).
x+(x+12)+((x+12)-17)+2((X+12)-17)= 267,
X+X+12+X+12-17+2X+24-34 = 267,
5X - 3 = 267
5X = 270
X = 54
X + 12 = 66
((X + 12) - 17) = 49
2((X + 12) - 17) = 98.
TOTAL = 54 + 66 + 49 + 98 = 267.
Sam: X + 12.
Randy: (x + 12) - 17
Will: 2((x + 12) - 17).
x+(x+12)+((x+12)-17)+2((X+12)-17)= 267,
X+X+12+X+12-17+2X+24-34 = 267,
5X - 3 = 267
5X = 270
X = 54
X + 12 = 66
((X + 12) - 17) = 49
2((X + 12) - 17) = 98.
TOTAL = 54 + 66 + 49 + 98 = 267.
