Question

Tom and Bob have a total of 49 toys if Bob has 5 more toys than Tom, how many toys does each one have

Answer 1

49 + 5 = 54

So the answer is 54

Answer 2

Let x and y are toys of tom and bob respectively
x+y=49
y=x+5----(bob hs 5 more toys than tom)
 substitute value of y
x+x+5=49
2x+5=49
2x=49-5
2x=44
x=22----tom has toy
y=27------bob has toy
