Variable: "c" for number of comics.
Equation: 2 people times the number of comics plus kenny has 9 more is 95.
= 2c + 9 = 95

Solve: isolate the variable.
when doing something (+, -, x, /) to one side, need to do the same the other side too.

2c + 9 = 95
2c + 9 - 9 = 95 - 9
2c = 86
2c /2 = 86/2
c = 43

Check your answer:
2 x 43 + 9
86 + 9
= 95

Hope this helped or answered your problem
