Question 1176545: in the 2016 olympics, china, us, and grrst britain won a combined total of 258 medals. china won 51 fewer medals than the us while great britain won 54 fewer than the us. how mnah medals did each country win Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
The given information compares the numbers of medals for both Great Britain and China to the number for the US, so the problem is probably easiest to set up using x as the number of medals won by the US.
x = # won by the US
x-51 = # won by China
x-54 = # won by Great Britain
Use those expressions to write and solve an equation that says the total number of medals won by those three countries was 258.
