3.A normal bus carries x passengers. A large bus will carry twice as many passengers than the normal bus
A small bus will carry 8 passengers less than the normal bus.
Altogether the buses carry 128 passengers.
(a) Form a simplified equation in terms of x

 A)    4x -8 = 128  

Step-by-step explanation:

We will represent the amount that the normal bus carries by   n= x  

We will represent  the amount that the large bus carries by  l = 2x  

We will also represent the amount that the small bus carries by  s = x-8  

Now add them to equal to 128.

x + 2x + x -8 = 128    

    4x -8 = 128
