Steve, Lindsay, and Christine are the lead singers in a band. They will sing 18 songs. Lindsay will sing 8 songs. Christine will sing 6 fewer songs than Stevie. How many songs will stevie sing.
Since Christine sang six fewer songs than Stevie and Lindsey sang eight you will know that he sang eight because 6+8=14 so 14+8=16
He sang 4 because 14+4=16
To find out how many songs Stevie will sing, we need to consider the information given.
We know that Lindsay will sing 8 songs, and Christine will sing 6 fewer songs than Stevie. So let's assume that Stevie sings x songs.
Now, we can set up an equation to represent the given information:
Lindsay's songs + Christine's songs + Stevie's songs = Total songs
Substituting the given values, we have:
8 + (x - 6) + x = 18
Simplifying the equation:
8 + x - 6 + x = 18
2x + 2 = 18
2x = 18 - 2
2x = 16
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
2x/2 = 16/2
x = 8
So, Stevie will sing 8 songs.
If Stevie sings x songs, then Christine sings x-6 songs. Add them up:
8 + x-6 + x = 18
x = 8
