Lynn has 4 more books than Jose. If Lynn gives Jose 6 of her books, how many more will Jose have than Lynn?

1 answer:

7 0

If Jose has n books, Lynn has n+4 books

when Lynn gives Jose 6 books her total number of books changes by -6 so it becomes: n+4-6 = n-2

Jose gains 6 books so his total becomes: n+6

We can minus Jose's books from Lyn's books total to get the difference: (n+6)-(n-2) = n -n +6 --2 = 8

Therefore Jose has 8 more books than Lynn.
