Hi,
Matt buys <u>4 times as many bearings as</u> {{{highlight_green(x)}}} decks  
and <u>2 less than three times as many wheels as</u> {{{highlight_green(x)}}} decks. 
If he buys 46 items altogether, how many of each does he get?
Question states***
# of bearings + # of decks + # of wheels = 46
    4x + x + (3x-2) = 46
           8x = 48
            x = 6, number of decks 
 6 decks, 24 bearings and 16 wheels
