1.

new price x cents
solve 10x = 12(15)

2. number of chickens --- x
number of pigs --- 41-x

solve : 2x + 4(41-x) = 100

3. number of people --- x
(5/6)x - 3 (3/4)x

4. let the number of year since Troy was born be x
Mrs. Grant = 20+6+x
Tess = 6+x
Carly = 4+x
Troy = x

solve : 26+x + 6+x + 4+x + x = 4(39)
