Answer 1

Answer:36

Explanation:

Answer 2

They have 36 books in total.

Explanation:

Let d = The number of Dima's books

Let r = The number of Ramiro's books.

d = 2r

d - 12 = r Substitute 2r for d in the second equation and solve for r

2r - 12 = r Subtract 2r from both sides

2r - 2r - 12 = r - 2r

-12 = -r Multiply both sides by -1

12 = r

Ramiro has 12 books.

d = 2r substitute 12 for r and solve for d

d = 2(12)

d = 24

Dima has 24 books.

Together they have 36 books (12 + 24)
