Question

Pls helpppp asap it would mean alot
also its not 12

Answer 1

16 comets

Explanation:

This is like a simple versions of systems of equations.

You'd want to create 2 equations describing the two pieces of information they give you. First, define the variables:

# of Fantails = f

# of Comets = c

You know Gloria has 22 total, so f + c = 22

You also know there are 10 fewer f than c, so c - 10 = f

In this case, you can substitute "f" in and solve for c.

(c - 10) + c = 22

2c - 10 = 22

2c = 32

c = 16

I hoped this helped!
