Question

Please guys i need some help:
Elise and Miguel both collect baseball cards. Miguel has two more than two times as many cards as Elise. Together they have 971 cards
A: Write an Equation to represent this solution
B:How many cards does each person have

Answer 1

Elise has x amount of cards: Elise=x

Miguel has 2 more than 2 times the amount of Elise
Elise has x amount of cards so Miguels has 2 times Elises amount plus another 2 more: Miguel=2x+2
Together they both have 971 Cads
That means Elise+Miguel=971 Cards
In Mathematical terms : (x)+(2x+2)=971

Now solve for x :
3x+2=971
3x=969
x=323

So As we see Elise had x amount of cards So elise had 323 baseball cards
Miguel had 2x+2 baseball cards so she had 2(323)+2=648 Baseball cards
:D
