Joe ate twice as many pieces of Halloween candy as Ed. Together they ate 48 pieces.

Mathematics
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy Ed took be denoted as "x"

Since Joe ate twice the amount of candy Ed ate, then the number of candies joe ate will be denoted as "2x"

Since all together they ate a total of 48 candies, then the sum of the candies eaten by Joe and Ed is what gives a total of 48

This means:

2x + x = 48

3x = 48

X = 16.

Can somebody please help me with this question?!?!?!
scoray [572]
I don't think there's any answer. It says that the absolute value of x-7 is negative 2, but an absolute value is always positive. So there's no value for x that can make the equation a true statement.
