Question

4 Erin and Devon are playing a game. Erin has 42 points. If Devon had 14 more points, he'd have double the points Erin has. How many points does Devon have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Devon have 70 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Erin and Devon are playing a game. Erin has 42 points. If Devon had 14 more points, he'd have double the points Erin has.

Now, to find the points Devon have.

Let the points Devon have be $x.$

Erins has = 42 points.

As, given if Devon had 14 more points, he'd have double the points Erin has.

According to question:

$x+14=42\times 2$

$x+14=84$

Subtracting both sides by 14 we get:

$x=70.$

Therefore, Devon have 70 points.
