Question

32 loaves of bread total, wheat loaves has 8 more then the rye loaves. How many wheat loaves are there?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the no. Of rye bread = x

Wheat bread = x + 8

The total bread is 32

: x + x + 8 = 32

2x = 32 - 8

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

No. Of wheat bread = x + 8 = 12+8

No. Of wheat bread = 20

Answer 2

Wheat loaves is 20

Explanation:

Let wheat loaves be A

And rye loaves be B

A + B = 32

Hence A = B + 8

So, B + B + 8 = 32

2B = 24

B = 12

A = 20
