"Sonya has X amount of money. Bob has three times as much as Sonya has, less $14.62. Write an expression , using X, that tells how much does Bob has."
You're only trying to find an expression to describe Bob's money. You're on the right track with "3x - 14.62" -- and in fact that is the correct answer.
If you say that "x = 3x - 14.62" you imply that Sonya's money (x) = Bob's money (3x - 14.62).
Sonya has X amount of money. Bob has three times as much as Sonya has, less $14.62. Write an expression , using X, that tells how much does Bob has. I need to know if the expression will be x= 3x-14.62 and the answer will be $7.31. Thank you for helping me.
