The answer should be C. 8 because two times the amount that Charles ate which is 4 equals 8 and 4+8=12

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the number of of watermelon slices Charles ate.

2x+x=12

x+x+x=12

3x=12

3x/3=12/3

x=4

Charles ate 4 watermelon slices

If Lisa ate twice the amount Charles ate, that would mean she ate 8.
