Question

Morgan has 98 baseball cards in his collection, which is twelve less than the product of 5 and the number of cards Tyler has.

Answer 1

Answer: Tyler has 22 cards

Explanation:

To begin, we know that Morgan has 12 less than 5x Tyler's cards, so...

12+98=110

Now that we had 110, we then read that it is the PRODUCT of 5 and the number that Tyler has, so we will show that algebraically.

110=5x

Now, divide 110 by 5 to find X.

110/5=22

Tyler has 22 cards.
