Question

There are a total of 36 cards in Aleera’s collection. The number of baseball cards is 6 less than twice the number of football cards. The equation below represents the situation, where x represents the number of football cards. x+(2x-6)=36 How many baseball cards does Aleera have?

Answer 1

Answer: 14

Step-by-step explanation:

All we need to do is to find x

x + (2x - 6) = 36

we expand the bracket first,

x + 2x - 6 = 36

Then we collect the like terms;

x + 2x = 36 + 6

3x = 42

We divide bothside of the equation by 3 to get our x

3x/3 = 42/3

x = 14

Therefore Aleera is having 14 baseball cards.

Answer 2

am pretty sure is 14 baseballs
