Question

Theo and Kade worked on a school project together. Theo worked on the project 3 fewer hours than Kade did. Altogether, they worked for a
total of 27 hours. How many hours did they each work on the school project?

Answer 1

Let the hours Kade worked = X

Theo would be X - 3 ( 3 less than Kade).

Now you have:

X  + X -3 = 27

Combine like terms:

2x - 3 = 27

Add 3 to each side:

2x = 30

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 15

Kade worked 15 hours.

Theo worked 12 hours.

Answer 2

The number of hours did they each work on the school project is 15 hours and 12 hours.

Given that,

• Theo worked on the project 3 fewer hours than Kade did.
• Altogether, they worked for a  total of 27 hours.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

Let us assume hours Kade worked be x

So,  

Theo would be x - 3

So,  

x  + x -3 = 27

2x - 3 = 27

2x = 27 = 3

2x = 30

x = 15

So for Theo it should be 12

Therefore we can conclude that The number of hours did they each work on the school project is 15 hours and 12 hours.
