Aaron, Ben and Caleb all have grabbed some lollies from a jar. Ben has twice as many lollies as Aaron, and Caleb has 5 more lollies than Ben. If there are 65 lollies
altogether, how many does each have?
(create an equation and then solve it, allow Aaron to represent a lollies)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to start off with, find all of the variables in the equation.

Aaron: x

Ben: 2x

C: (5 + 2x)

65 is how many lollies we they have altogether.

So now we start to make the equation.

x + 2x + 5 + 2x = 65.

Add like terms.

5x + 5 = 65.

65 - 5 = 60

5x = 60

60/5 = 12

Aaron = 12 lollies

Now find the amount of bens lollies

2(12) = 24

Ben = 24 lollies

24 + 5 = 29

Caleb = 29 lollies.

we need the options

step-by-step explanation:

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.
