Answer:

22

Explanation:

If there are n children, the number of candies in the first distribution is ...

3n +1

If the same number of candies is distributed to the same n children, then the second distribution tells us ...

2n +8 = 3n +1

7 = n . . . . . . . . . subtract 2n+1. This is the number of children.

The number of candies is ...

3(7) +1 = 22

There were 22 candies in total.
