Question

Kendra takes bread to her two friends houses every week she takes 3 times the amount to Judy as she does Lynn. ComBind she takes them 12 loafs. how much does she give

Answer 1

Lynn gets 3 loafs

Judy gets 9 loafs....

Explanation:

Let Lynn gets = x loafs

Judy gets = 3x loafs

Thus the equation becomes:

12 = 3x+x

Add the like terms:

12 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

12/4=4x/4

x= 3

Lynn gets 3 loafs

Plug the value of x in 3x to find the loafs Judy gets.

3x = 3(3)=9

Judy gets 9 loafs....
