Bobby’s christmas list had 3 more than twice as many items on it than johnny’s list. johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby. how many items were on johnny’s (x) and bobby’s (y) christmas lists?

Johnny had 5 items and Bobby had 13 items.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that Johnny has x items and Bobby has y items in their list.

Bobby had 3 more than twice as many items on it than Johnny. So,

 ----------1

Johnny asked for 8 fewer items than bobby. So,

 -----------2

Putting the value of x from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

Putting the value of y in equation 2,

So, Johnny had 5 items and Bobby had 13 items.

add 5 subtract 1

step-by-step explanation:

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
