Question

X and y have a total of 47 cards,if x and z were to combine their cards they would have 126 combined,y and z count there cards together and get a total of 93 cards,how many cards does x have?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 40 cards that x have.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

X and y have a total of 47 cards, it is expressed as

$x+y=47$

x and z were to combine their cards they would have 126 combined, it is expressed as

$x+z=126$

y and z count there cards together and get a total of 93 cards, it is expressed as

$y+z=93$

So, solving the above three equations we get that

y = 47 - x,

z = 126 - x,

z = 93 - y

Now, we get that $x=40,y=7,z=86$

Hence, there are 40 cards that x have.
