Question

Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as sydney. samaria has 36 pieces of candy. how many does sydney have?

Answer 1

36- 6 = 30
30 divided by 3 = 10
sydney only has 10 pieces of candy

Answer 2

For this case we have:

x: Number of candies that Sydney has

The equation to find the amount of Sydney sweets is given by:

`3x + 6 = 36`

We want to clear x:

`3x = 36-63x = 30`

`x = (30)/(3)`

`x = 10`

So, Sydney has 10 candies

Answer:

Sydney has 10 candies
