Pls help

Sherwin has twice as many stamps as his friends Allan and Gene combined. Allen has 55 stamps in his collection. Sherwin has 200 stamps in his collection.How many stamps does Gene have in his collection?

The equation 2 (x + 55) = 200 models this situation. which choice shows the sequence of operations needed to solve this problem, using both arithmetic and alegbra?

Answer 1

gene would have 45

Explanation:

if you take 55 and times that by 2 you get 110 then gene would need a toyal of 90 to complete the 200 so if you divide 90 by 2 you get 45

Answer 2

C is correct

Explanation:

You divide by 2 and that leaves x+55=100-55=45

You would finish with 45
