Question

Rita started the day with r apps then she deleted 5 apps and still had twice as many apps as Cora has .write and an equation that represents the number of apps each girl had~Cora had 35 apps plz help quick

Answer 1

r - 5 = 2c

r = 75

Explanation:

To write an equation for the problem, we first need do declare the value of the number of apps cora has.

Let c = Cora's apps

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 is used to indicate that Rita deleted 5 apps.

2c is used to represent the twice the number of apps Cora has.

Now you said that Cora had 35 apps.

Let's plug that into the equation.

r - 5 = 2c

r - 5 = 2(35)

r - 5 = 70

Now we transpose the -5 to the other side to leave r.

r = 70 + 5

r = 75

So if Cora has 35 apps, then Rita will have 75 apps.
