Jennifer and Roger both keep herds of sheep. Jennifer’s herd has 12 more sheep than does Roger’s herd, and the combined total of sheep in Jennifer’s and Roger’s herd is 64. How many sheep are in Jennifer’s herd?

Answer:

38

Explanation:

Let Roger be x

12+x + x = 64

12 + 2x = 64

2x = 64-12

x = 52/2 = 26

Jennifer will be 12 + 26 = 38
