Answer 1

Answer: He has 67 cards now

Explanation:

Answer 2

Eric's uncle gave him 67 cards.

Explanation:

We know that:

the number of baseball cards Eric had earlier = 143,

the number of cards Eric's uncle gave him = x,

the number of cards Eric gave to his friends = 26, and

the number of cards Eric is left with = 184

So before giving 26 cards to his friend, Eric had = 184 + 26 = 210

and initially he had 143 cards.

Therefore, his uncle gave him = 210 - 143 = 67 cards.
