Answer:
Margret, Jay, and Andi each have a sticker collection. Jay has 34 stickers. Margret has 3 times as many stickers as Andi. Andi has 9 more stickers than Jay. How many stickers does Margret have?
How to solve:
a = andi's stickers
j = jay's stickers (34)
m = margret's stickers
9 + j = a or 9 + 34 = 43
so a = 43
a x 3 = m or 43 x 3 = 129
m = 129
Margret has 129 stickers
