Martin has 12 times as many baseball cards as Josie. Josie has 29 more cards than Kal. How many baseball cards does Martin have?

To find out how many baseball cards Martin has, we need to understand the relationships between Martin, Josie, and Kal.

Let's start with the information given:

1) Martin has 12 times as many baseball cards as Josie.
2) Josie has 29 more cards than Kal.

Let's express these relationships in equations:

Let's assume Josie has x baseball cards.
From the first statement, we know that Martin has 12 times as many cards as Josie, so Martin has 12x cards.

From the second statement, we know that Josie has 29 more cards than Kal, so Josie has (Kal's number of cards + 29) cards.
Since x represents Josie's number of cards, we can rewrite this as x = Kal's number of cards + 29, or Kal's number of cards = x - 29.

Now, let's substitute the value of Kal's number of cards (x - 29) into the first equation:

Martin's number of cards = 12x
Martin's number of cards = 12(x - 29) [Substituting Kal's number of cards]
Martin's number of cards = 12x - 348

Therefore, Martin has 12x - 348 baseball cards.

M=12J

j-29=k
Doesn't all this depend on how many Kai has?
