Answer:
Insects in Bookers collection = 50 insects
Insects in Reginald collection = 137 insects
Step-by-step explanation:
Total insects collected = 187
Reginalds collection are thirty-seven more than twice the number in Bookers collection.
Let
Insects in Bookers collection = x
Insects in Reginald collection = 2x + 37
How many insects are in Bookers collection?
Total insects collected = Bookers collection + Reginald collection
187 = x + (2x + 37)
187 = x + 2x + 37
187 = 3x + 37
187 - 37 = 3x
150 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
x = 150 / 3
= 50 insects
Insects in Bookers collection = x
= 50 insects
Insects in Reginald collection = 2x + 37
= 2(50) + 37
= 100 + 37
= 137 insects
Total = 50 + 137
= 187 insects
