C. Robin has 32 comic books; Lee has 37 comic books

D. Robin has 9 comic books; Lee has 5 comic books

Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Jose has 9 more comic books than Robin.

Robin has 5 more comic books than Lee.

Let number of comic books with Robin=x

Then number of comic books with Jose=x+9

and number of comic books with Lee=x-5

Jose has 23 comic books.

i.e. x+9=23

i.e. x=14

So, number of comic books with Robin=14

and number of comic books with Lee=9

Hence, correct option is:

A. Robin has 14 comic books; Lee has 9 comic books

Answer 2

If Jose has 23 comic books, this means that Robin has 14 comic books because he has 9 more than her. This would also mean that Lee has 9 comic books because Robin has 5 more than him.
