Dan has twice as many stickers as Cam does. If Dan gives Cam 15 of his stickers he will still have 22 more than Cam. How many stickers does each boy have?

Dan has 2x stickers. Cam has x stickers.
2x-15=x+22
Collect like terms
x-15=22
x=37
Cam has 37 stickers and Dan has 74 stickers as Dan has two times more stickers as Cam.
