Question

William and Amy are stuffing envelopes for a charity.Today William stuffed a total of 70 envelopes.This was 10 more than the twice the number of envelopes that Amy stuffed. What is the equation showing the relationship between the number of envelopes that William and Amy both stuffed. How many envelopes did any stuff ???

Answer 1

70x=140 amy stuffed 140 i think this is right

Answer 2

there are two questions here the first one tells us to make an equation for how much they BOTH stuffed which is
70+((70-10)/2)
P.S. ((70-10)/2) is how much Amy did.
now the second question asks us specifically how much Amy stuffed on her OWN. we will use the equation above but only the part that is Amy's share which is
((70-10)/2)
now we simplify
(60/2)
the answer to the second question is
30
