Question

together preston and horatio have 49 video games. horatio has 11 more then preston. how much does each person have

Answer 1

each person has about 19 each

all you have to do is 49-2=38

38 divided by 2 = 19

Answer 2

Horatio has 30 video games and Preston has 19

Explanation:

Set up an equation:

x = Games horatio has

Since theres two people we will give x the coefficient of 2

You get 11 from how much more horatio has

49 is the total

The Equation

49 = 2x + 11

Solve

49 = 2x + 11

-11 - 11

38 = 2x

19 = x

Preston has 19 video games and since horatio has 11 more horatio has 30 video games
