Zane has twice the number of pieces of bubble
gum as Cody. Together, the boys have 42 pieces.
How many pieces of gum does Zane have?

!!!GRADE 4!!!

Sagot :

Answer: 28

Step-by-step explanation: 2x+x=42 (equation i used to solve for Cody)

2x+x=42 (add the similar elements)

3x=42

[tex]\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{42}{3}[/tex] (divide both sides by 3)

x=14 (cody)

Zane has twice the amount so double 14 to get 28
