During the summer, Bernardo read three times as many books as Kyle. Elan read twice as many books as Kyle. Nate read the same number of books as Bernardo, Kyle, and Elan combined. If Nate read 36 books, how may books did each of the other boys read? write and equation and solve.
What is 3k + 2k + k = 36
k=6
so Kyle read 6, Bernardo read 18, Elan read 12?
