Answer:
Cards with Mark = 30
Cards with Drew = 120
Cards with Katie = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is
Drew has 4 times as many baseball cards as Mark. Katie has 3 fewer than than half as many cards as Mark. In all they have 162 baseball cards. How many does each have?
Solution -
Let the number of cards with Mark be "X"
Number of cards with Drew = 4 *X = 4X
Number of Cards with Katies = 0.5 X -3
Sum of all the cards is equal to 162
X+4X + 0.5 X -3 = 162
5.5 X = 165
X = 30
Cards with Mark = 30
Cards with Drew = 4 * 30 = 120
Cards with Katei = 15-3 = 12
When (2x-20)＋86＝0
2x-20＝-86
2x＝-46
x＝-23
Wouldn't it be 1? Because any number to the zero post power is 1?
