Question

Angelica had 8 more pairs of shoes than her mom. Together they have 30 pairs of shoes. How many pair of shoes does each one have

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is Angelica 19, her mom = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Angelica has 8 more than her mother

total number of shoes = 30 pairs

The Number of pairs Angelica has = a = ?

The Number of pairs her mother has = m = ?

Process

1.- Write two equation that help to solve this problem

        a = m + 8                    Equation l

        a + m = 30                  Equation ll

2.- Solve the system of equations by substitution

Substitute equation l in equation ll

       (m + 8) + m = 30

-Solve for m

        m + 8 + m = 30

        2m = 30 - 8

        2m = 22

          m = 22/2

          m = 11

3.- Find a

          a = 11 + 8

          a = 19

4.- Conclusion

 Angelica has 19 pairs of shoes and her mom has 11
