sonya has x amont of money. bob has three as much as sonya has,less $14.62. write expression, using x, that tells how much does bob has

3x - 14.62

To find the expression that represents how much money Bob has, we can write it as follows:

Bob's Amount = Sonya's Amount × 3 - $14.62

In terms of x, the amount of money Sonya has:

Bob's Amount = (3x) - $14.62

To write an expression that tells how much money Bob has in terms of x (the amount of money Sonya has), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Determine how much money Sonya has, represented by x.
Step 2: Calculate the amount of money Bob has, which is three times the amount Sonya has (3x).
Step 3: Subtract $14.62 from the total because Bob has "less $14.62."

Combining these steps, the expression that tells how much money Bob has is:

3x - 14.62
