Question

there are 18 lions, tigers and bears. If the number of lions is 4 less than 3 times the number of bears and the number of tigers is 3 more than three-fourth number of bears find the number of each

Answer 1

$bears = x \\ lions = 3x - 4 \\ tigers = \frac{ 3}{4}x + 3$

all you have to do next is add all of them in one equation and equate them to 18

when you find x, replace in each expression to get your answers
