Question

bob has three times as many baseball cards as bill together they have 68 cards how many cards does bob have

Answer 1

Write the equations representing what you know, then solve:

Bob = 3 * Bill
Bob + Bill = 68

Answer 2

Bob = 68 - Bill but Bob also = 3 * Bill so

68 - Bill = 3 * Bill

Add Bill to both sides and divide both sides by the right number to get Bill = ? Then plug that value into Bob + Bill = 68 to find out how many Bob has.

Answer 3

i dont no how to solve it im so cionfused with math

Answer 4

68 - Bill = 3 * Bill
Add Bill to both sides (doing the same thing to both sides of the equation doesn't change the truth)

68 - Bill + Bill = Bill + 3*Bill
68 = 4*Bill

Now divide both sides by 4 to find out the value of Bill
68/4 = Bill = ?

Answer 5

new question raul is 5 years older than twice carlos age the sum of their age is 101 what is carlos age

Answer 6

What did you get for your answers in the previous one?

You should really post separate questions in separate posts.

Again, write equations for what we know.

Raul = Carlos * 2 + 5
Raul + Carlos = 101

Here we could substitute Carlos * 2 + 5 wherever we see Raul in the second equation:

Carlos * 2 + 5 + Carlos = 101

Carlos * 3 + 5 = 101
Carlos * 3 + 5 - 5 = 101 - 5
Carlos * 3 = 96
Carlos = ?
