Suppose four friends ordered a total of 30 items from Prime Wardrobe. Veronica ordered four more items than Gabriel did, and Addison and Elijah each ordered two less than double the amount of items that Gabriel ordered. How many items did Addison and Veronica order together?

A. 16 items
B. 17 items
C. 5 items
D. 8 items

Answer :

Gabriel = x
Veronica = x+4
Addison = 2x-2
Elijah = 2x-2

x + x+4 + 2x-2 + 2x-2 = 30

6x = 30

x = 30/6
x = 5

Gabriel = 5
Veronica = 9
addison = 8
Elijah = 8

addison and Veronica = 9 +8 =17

Answer is B
