Steve, Lindsay, and Christine are the lead singers in a band. They will sing 18 songs. Lindsay will sing 8 songs. Christine will sing 6 fewer songs than Stevie. How many songs will stevie sing.

3 answers

If Stevie sings x songs, then Christine sings x-6 songs. Add them up:

8 + x-6 + x = 18
x = 8
Since Christine sang six fewer songs than Stevie and Lindsey sang eight you will know that he sang eight because 6+8=14 so 14+8=16
He sang 4 because 14+4=16
