Answer:

The number of candies Hayley has is 16 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of candies Hayley has = x

So, Number of candies Hayden has = (x + 3)

Then the Number of candies i have = 2(x + 3)

Also,according to the question:

2(x + 3) = 38

or, 2x + 6 = 38 ⇒ 2x = 32

or, x = 32/2 = 16

⇒ x = 16

So, the number of candies Hayley has is x = 16 .
