Let

x--------> amount of erasers that Sari has

y--------> amount of erasers that Sam has


we know that


[tex] x=3y [/tex]-------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] x+y=28 [/tex]-----> equation [tex] 2 [/tex]


Substitute equation [tex] 1 [/tex] in equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

[tex] [3y]+y=28\\ 4y=28\\ y=28/4\\ y=7 [/tex]


find the value of x

[tex] x=3y\\ x=3*7\\ x=21 [/tex]


therefore


the answer is

Sari has [tex] 21 [/tex] erasers
