Question

C) Lautaro y Facundo cuentan sus figuritas. Lautaro tiene el doble de las que tiene Facundo menos 3. Si entre los dos tienen 24 figuritas. ¿Cuántas tiene cada uno?

Answer 1

Lautaro has 15 figurines and Facundo has 9 figurines.

Explanation:

Let's call the number of figurines of Lautaro 'X', and the number of figurines of Facundo 'Y'.

Lautaro has double the figurines of Facundo minus 3, so:

X = 2Y - 3

Together they have 24 figurines, so:

X + Y = 24

Using the value of X in the second equation, we have:

2Y - 3 + Y = 24

3Y = 27

Y = 9

Now, we can calculate X:

X = 2*9 -3 = 18 - 3 = 15

Lautaro has 15 figurines and Facundo has 9 figurines.
