Question

matt has 6 more baseball cards than ramon together, they have 450 cards. how manyvcards does each boy have? write an equation and solve it ?

Answer 1

let ramon's card be k
6 more than ramon=6+k
6+k+k=450
6+2k=450
2k+6-6=450-6
2k=444
2k/2=444/2
k=222
Therefore ramon has 222 cards and Matt has (222+6)228 cards.
