the number of photos t.j. has on his laptop is twice as many as the amount rolando has on his laptop. write and solve a multiplication equation to find how many photos rolando has on his laptop

i think rolando has 10 and the equation should be 20= 10p

no, 20=2p

Where did you get 20?

t = 2r

i forgot to put in that t.j had 20 photos on his laptop

To find out how many photos Rolando has on his laptop, we can start by assigning a variable to represent the number of photos Rolando has.

Let's say the number of photos Rolando has is represented by the variable "x".

According to the given information, the number of photos that T.J. has on his laptop is twice as many as the amount Rolando has on his laptop. In other words, T.J. has 2 times the number of photos as Rolando.

Therefore, we can write the equation as:

2x = number of photos T.J. has

To find the number of photos Rolando has, we need to isolate the variable "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

2x / 2 = (number of photos T.J. has) / 2

Simplifying:

x = (number of photos T.J. has) / 2

Now, without knowing the exact number of photos T.J. has, we cannot determine Rolando's exact number of photos. However, if we are given the number of photos T.J. has, we can substitute it into the equation to find Rolando's number of photos by dividing it by 2.
