Answer 2

A,B,C and D play a game of cards. A says to B 'If I give you 8 cards, you will have as many as C has and I shall have 3 less than that of C. Also if I take 8 cards from C, I shall have twice as many has D has. If B and D together have 50 cards, how many cards have A got ???

Answer 3

I have one request before u start. Let player C be x and then continue

Answer 4

Hey

Answer 5

I challenge u

Answer 6

when B gets 8 cards, it will have as many as C.

so B actually has x-8 cards, agree?

Answer 7

Yes so be = x-8

Answer 8

Then ?

Answer 9

after giving B 8 cards, A will have 3 cards less than C.

so A actually has x-3 +8

Answer 10

Well I'm not sure what card game this is, but I'm hoping that having 34 cards and a third of a card is legal

Answer 11

That is x+5

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

Then .

Answer 14

.

Answer 15

?

Answer 16

if A gets 8 cards, it will have double to that of D

so
x+5 + 8 = 2D

D = (x+13)/2

Answer 17

Yes then ?

Answer 18

After this step it's all messed up

Answer 19

B and D together have 50

x- 8 + (x+13)/2 = 50

only x is unknown

Answer 20

brb

Answer 21

Yes but how can we solve that last step b and d

Answer 22

Well maybe they're playing a card cutting game. See who can divide the cards up into the smallest pieces while keeping track of the wholes

Answer 23

x-8+x+13 = 100

Answer 24

Right ?

Answer 25

Hartnn what happened ?

Answer 26

Herb hartnn are u there ?

Answer 27

Not herb its hey

Answer 28

Well first of all, you gotta multiply 2 all the way through. So 2x - 16 + x + 13

Answer 29

Then you do some more stuff and it becomes 3x=103, hey presto.

Answer 30

Hartnn what the hell is wrong with u

Answer 31

But then that means C has 34.3 cards.
