Answer: C
x = Grace's collection
3x = Maci's collection
4 = Kendra's collection
52 = Total collection
Because the total is 52, the equation would be x + 3x + 4 = 52. Add the like terms to get 4x+4=52. Subtract 4 on both sides to get 4x=48. Divide 4 on both sides to get x = 12. Because Maci's collection is 3x, she should have 36 earrings.
