Question

Medal
Together , Preston and Horatio have 49 video games . Horatio has 11 more games than Preston. How many games foes each person have?

Answer 1

so Preston + Horatio = 49

Preston + 11 = Horatio

(horatio has 11 more games than preston)

so replacing the bottom value of Horatio into the top

Preston + Preston + 11 = 49
2 x Preston = 38
Preston = 19

if preston has 19, and horatio has 11 more, horatio must have 19 + 11 = 30 games

checking to see if the total adds up, 30 + 19 = 49 cool

Answer 2

thank you!
