Answer:
so this would be the equation
2(2*10)=v
So the number on the outside is the number of stands, the second 2 is for the two rows, and the 10 is the games. I did this because its two rows and combined they make 20 games. It took me a little to figure that out.
This shows the number of games total in both holders.
10 windows : divide 40/5=8
Then divide 80/8 =10

If Ali has x cards, then Belinda has 2x cards.
If Ali has x cards, then Charlie has x+5 cards.
2x (Belinda) + x+5 (Charlie) + x (Ali) = 33 (total)
2x + x+5 + x = 33
Now simplify the equation... x+x+5 can be simplified as 2x+5.
2x+5 plus 2x can become 4x+5.
So their total number is 4x+5.
So 4x+5=33.
You want to isolate the variables and numbers.
To remove the 5 from the left side, subtract 5 from both sides.
4x+5-5=4x - 33-5=28
So the equation now is 4x=28
To remove the 4, divide each side by 4.
4x÷4=x - 28÷4=7
So x equals 7, Ali has 7 cards.
