bill and anig both have baseball cards. aniq has four times as many cards as bill. the number of cards aniq has is equal to the number of cards that bill has plus 60. determine how many cards aniq has.
This becomes a direct translation of the "English" into math.
let the number of cards for Bill be x
then the number of cards for Aniq is 4x
now it said:
"the number of cards aniq has is equal to the number of cards that bill has plus 60"
so...
4x = x + 60
this is now easy to solve.
x= 20
i neeeeeeeeeeeed help !
it equals 64
To determine how many cards Aniq has, we need to solve the equation:
4x = x + 60
To do this, we start by simplifying the equation:
4x - x = 60
Combine the x terms:
3x = 60
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:
3x/3 = 60/3
x = 20
So, Bill has 20 cards.
To find the number of cards Aniq has, substitute the value of x into the expression 4x:
4 * 20 = 80
Therefore, Aniq has 80 cards.
