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.

Solve this equation with substitution method :-<br> x+5 = 3 (y+5)<br> x-5 = 7 (y-5)
Damm [24]
From the first equation,
x+5 = 3(y+5)
x = 3y + 15 - 5
Now substitue x in the second equation with (3y +15 - 5).
x-5 = 7(y-5)
(3y+15-5) - 5 = 7(y-5)
3y +5 = 7y - 35
-4y = - 40
y = 10

Since y is 10, and x is (3y +15 - 5),
x = 30 + 15 - 5 = 40
