Question

Anyone wanna help me out. WILL MEDAL :)

Answer 1

Elise and Miguel both collect baseball cards, miguel has two more than two times as many as Elise, together they have 971 cards.
-- Write an equation to represent this equation.
-- How many cards does each person have?

Answer 2

2+2e+e=971
Miguel's is 2 more(2+) than two times Elises(2e), and with Elise's(e), 971

Answer 3

Simplify to 3e=969, then find e=323.
e is Elise's, remember? So she has 323 cards.
To find Miguel's, you can subtract 323 from 971, or solve for his portion of the equation. Either way, you get 648
