Artem and Anthony are selling brownies at the school bake sale. Anthony sold twice as many brownies as Artem. Together, they sold 15 brownies at the bake sale. Could Artem have sold 4 brownies?

Yes, because 4 brownies is less than 15 brownies
Yes, because 2(4) brownies is less than 15 brownies
No, because 2(4) + 4 ≠ 15
No, because 2(4) ≠ 15

No because 2(4)+4
\\eq15

Why?

  • If artem has sold 4brownies.
  • As Anthony sold twice as artem .Anthony have sold 2(4) brownies.

Now calculate sum

  • 2(4)+4=8+4=12

Hence its false
