Answer: Toby: 2x - 10. Rebecca: (2x - 10) - 8 = 2x - 18. Total:2x - 10 + 2x - 18 + x = 157. 5x - 28 = 157. 5x = 185. x = 37 hours. Rebecca:2(37) - 18 = 56 hours. The answer is 56.
[Question]Palmer loves taking photos and has an album of 100 photos under her bed to mark memories of places she's been. She recently went on a long trip to Bali. Palmer took 50 new pictures in the first week and twice that many in the second week. She was running out of space at the end of her trip and took only 80 new photos total across the third and fourth weeks. If she adds the pictures from Bali to her collection, how many total photos does Palmer have under her bed now?
[Answer]While in Bali, Palmer took 50 pictures in the first week and thus 2 * 50 photos = 100 photos in the second week. The total number of photos she took in Bali is 50 photos on the first week + 100 photos on the second week + 130 photos = 280 photos. When she adds the photos she from Bali to her album, Palmer has a total of 280 + 100 = 380 photos. The answer is 380.

A: From Monday to Friday, Ralph watches TV for 4 * 5 = 20 hours. On Saturday and Sunday, Ralph watches TV for 2 * 6 = 12 hours. In one week, Ralph watches TV for a total of 20 + 12 = 32 hours. The answer is 32.
Question: A baseball team has averaged 15 hits per game over their first 5 games. There are 11 players on the team. Their best player has 25 total hits. If the other players continue their average over the next 6 games, how many hits will each player average across the 6 games in total?
Answer:
The best player averages 5 hits a game because 25 / 5 = 5. The rest of the team averages 10 hits a game because 15 - 5 = 10. The rest of the players average 1 hit a game because 10 / 10 = 1. They will average 6 hits per player over the next 6 games because 6 x 1 = 6. The answer is 6.
