Thelma · Answer 1

G = the cost of one pack of gum

LeBron : 6 - 4g

James : 5 - 2g

what they both have after buying gum ...

6 - 4g + 5 - 2g = 11 - 6g

Gideon Hawkins · Answer 2

P is the cost of each packet of gum.

money left with LeBron = 6 - 4p

money left with James = 5 - 2p

total money left with LeBron and James

= 6 - 4p + 5 - 2p

= 11 - 6p
