Layla and Adam have some stickers. if Layla gives 23 stickers to Adam, she will have 18 postcards more than him. How many more stickers will Layla have than Adam if Adam gave Layla 10 postcards instead?
how does giving stickers to him affect the postcards?
How does giving her postcards affect the stickers?
This question is seriously messed up.
It is a grade 6 revision paper
Sorry not postcards, it is stickers
To find the answer, we need to set up an equation based on the given information. Let's assume Layla has "L" stickers and Adam has "A" stickers.
According to the question, if Layla gives 23 stickers to Adam, she will have 18 postcards more than him. This can be written as:
L - 23 = A + 18
We can simplify this equation to:
L - A = 41 (Equation 1)
Now, let's consider the second part of the question. If Adam gives Layla 10 postcards, the number of stickers doesn't change, but we need to adjust the equation to account for the difference in postcards.
Since Adam gave Layla 10 postcards, Layla will then have 18 more postcards than Adam. So, the equation becomes:
L = A + 10
Now, we have two equations involving L and A. To solve for the difference in stickers, we can substitute the second equation into the first equation:
(A + 10) - A = 41
Simplifying further:
10 = 41
This is not a valid equation, and thus, there seems to be no solution to this problem. It is possible that there might have been an error or missing information in the question.
Please double-check the information given or provide any additional details, if available.
