Question

anonymous · Answer

3x + x = 12
4x = 12
x = 3

anonymous · Answer

If she takes 3 times the amount to Judy, she takes 3x, and we can't forget that this is a total of both breads, so + x would be the bread she gives to Lynn.

You can plug it into the equation to check if it's correct.
3(3) + 3 = 12
9 + 3 = 12
12 = 12
TRUE
