ian picked 5 times as many beries as michelle joe picked 7 times as many berries as michelle together they picked 208 berries how many berries did joe pick
Let x represent the amount michelle has. The equation would be: 5x+7x+x=208 And to solve it you need to combine like terms: 5x+7x+x=13x 13x=208 divide both sides by 13 and you get that x equals to 16. And this is how much each person got: Michelle-16 Ian-80 Joe-112. Plz thank you me. bye :)
