Question

How many envelopes does Jane address in a

day?
Jane addresses twice as many envelopes
as Louis in the same amount of time.
Together, they address 450 envelopes
each day.

Answer 1

Jane addressed 300 envelopes while Louis addressed 150

Step-by-step explanation: Let x represent Louis's amount and 2x is Jane's amount

x+2x= 450 combine 3x =450

Divide both sides by 3.

x/3 = 450/3 x= 150. 2x = 300

Answer 2

2x+X=450

3x=450

X=450/3

X=150

so

2x=2*150=300

X=150

so, Jane addressed 300 envelopes while Louis addressed only 150
