Answer:
Let x represents the Sara eat pancake and y represents the Phil eat the pancake.
As per the statement:
Phil ate three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara.
"Twice as many pancake as Sara" means 2x
"three less than twice as many pancakes as Sara" means 2x -3
⇒ .....[1]
It is also given that together they combined to eat 15 pancakes.
⇒ .....[2]
Substitute equation [1] into [2] we get;
Combine like terms;
3x-3 =15
Add 3 to both sides we get;
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3 we get;
x = 6
Substitute the value of x in [1] we get;
y = 2(6)-3 = 12-3 =9
y = 9
Therefore, the pancakes did each eat are;
Sara eat pancake = 6 and Phil eat pancake = 9
It looks like you had some of the numbers correct, but you just labeled it and rounded it incorrectly, and the teacher gave you super partial credit for it.
For my work, I'm assuming that side A is opposite of angle A and side B is opposite of angle B, etc...
