Question 966953: J b and F are selling books B sold 15 more books then J sol and F sold twice as many as J. If they sold 163 how many did each sell

b = j + 15
f = 2j
b + j + f = 163
Write everything in terms of j.
j + 15 + j + 2j = 163
4j = 148
j = 37
J sold 37 books, B sold 52 books, and F sold 74 books.
