The answer: x=857 and y=-401

Set up the two equations

X+2y=55
2x+y=1313

Solve the system of equations by elimination

2x+y=1313
-2x-4y=-110

Add each of the corresponding terms together

-3y=1203

Divide by -3

Y=-401

Plug y back into one of the original equations

X+2(-401)=55
X-802=55
X=857

seropon [69]
If Bobby claims Peter started with 21 cards, then we'll work this into our equation.

21 - 3 (that he lost) = 18
18 / 2 (the half he gave) = 9

So this means that he did have 21 cards to begin with. Please reply to this with a list of the answers that can/could be checked!
