Question

When r+s=13 and 2t+s=13 , what is the value of t?

Answer 1

question: r + s = 13 and 2t + s = 13
what is the value of t

t = 5

Answer 2

t = 5

Explanation:

by using guess and check, we can plug in the numbers 5 into t, 3 into s, and 10 into r.

if t = 5, then r must mean twice that number meaning it is 10.

the remainder would be s which means it is 3.

r+s=13 into 10 + 3 = 13

2t+s=13 into 2(5) + 3 = 13
