Answer:

Explanation:

Hello,

I am pretty sure all this would be is :

Let c = Carlos's baseball cards

c = x + 8

Since Ben in this problem is irrelevant to Carlos, we just are using Adams cards and adding 8 onto them to find Carlos's cards since he has 8 more.

Since :

"Carlos has 8 more than Adam Write"

"Adam has x baseball cards"

So:

c = x + 8

I hope this helps!
