Damien , Jake , and Makayla shared a bowl of grapes . Damien ate x grapes . Jake ate 1 more than twice the number of grapes that Damien ate . Makayla ate 5 fewer grapes than Damien ate . If there were 6 grapes left , how many grapes were in the bowl ?

There were (4x + 2) grapes in the bowl

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total number of grapes in the bowl.

We have 3 people sharing the total

Damien are x grapes

Jake ate 1 more than twice what Damien and that is (1 + 2x) grapes

Makayla ate 5 fewer grapes than Damien: So what Makayla ate is (x-5) grapes

And now, we have 6 grapes left.

To find the total number of grapes in the bowl, we need to add up all what they ate plus what is left.

Mathematically, that would be;

x + 1 + 2x + x -5 + 6

= 4x + 2
