Consider the complete question is "Ben, Cam, and Justin are lumberjacks. The number of trees they chop down is given by b+2c+3j, where b is the number of hours Ben spends chopping, c is the number of hours Cam spends chopping, and j is the number of hours Justin spends chopping. How many trees do they chop down after Ben spends 8 hours chopping, Cam spends 3 hours chopping, and Justin spends 4 hours chopping?"
Given:
Total number of trees chopped by them = [tex]b+2c+3j[/tex]
b = number of hours Ben spends chopping = 8
c = number of hours Cam spends chopping = 3
j = number of hours Justin spends chopping = 4
To find:
The numerical value of total number of trees chopped by them.
Solution:
Total number of trees chopped by them = [tex]b+2c+3j[/tex]
Put [tex]b=8, c=3[/tex] and [tex]j=4[/tex] in the given expression.
[tex]Total=8+2(3)+3(4)[/tex]
[tex]Total=8+6+12[/tex]
[tex]Total=26[/tex]
Therefore, total number of trees chopped by them is 26.
