ITEM      NUMBER OF NAIRA
Beans        x
Rice         x+3
Yams         2x
NAIRA       2000

How much did she spend all together? 2.How much has she left?

She spent 4x+3 naira, but not enough information to know how much she still had after purchase. She would have as an expression, IF 4x%2B3%3C2000, unspent 2000-4x-3=1997-4x naira.
