Question 27034: the u.s earned an all time 34 medals at the olympics. the number of gold earned was 1 less than the number bronze. the number of silver earned was 2 more than the number of bronze. how many of each kind of medal did the u.s earn? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! G + S + B = 34
G = B - 1
S = B + 2
(B - 1) + (B + 2) + B = 34
3B + 1 = 34
3B = 33
B = 11
G = 11 - 1
G = 10
S = B + 2
S = 13
CHECK:
11 + 10 + 13 = 34
OK
