Jack, Sue, Lisa and Ben all collect Pokemon cards. 

\n

Sue has double triple the number of cards that Jack has.

\n

Lisa has {Lisa} more cards than Jack.

\n

Ben has {Ben} fewer cards than Sue.

\n

Let the pronumeral  $c$  represent the number of cards that Jack has.

", "advice": "

Jack has  $c$  Pokemon cards.

\n

Sue has double triple the number of cards that Jack has.

\n

Therefore Sue has  $2$ $3$  times  $c$  cards. This is written as  $2c$ $3c$.

\n

Lisa has  $\\var{Lisa}$  more cards than Jack.

\n

Therefore Lisa has $c+\\var{Lisa}$ cards.

\n

Ben has  $\\var{Ben}$  fewer cards than Sue.

\n

Sue has  $2c$ $3c$ cards, so Ben has  $2c-\\var{Ben}$ $3c-\\var{Ben}$  cards. Note that this is not written $\\var{Ben}-\\var{Sue}c$.

\n

The total number of cards that the four people have is given by $c+\\var{Sue}c+(c+\\var{Lisa})+(\\var{Sue}c-\\var{Ben})$

\n

When we collect like terms, we get $6c+\\var{const}$$8c+\\var{const}$.

\n

The simplified algebraic expression for the total number of Pokemon cards that Jack, Sue, Lisa and Ben have is  $6c+\\var{const}$$8c+\\var{const}$.
