The number of stickers John and Ken have in the end is 6 and 18 respectively.

How to write and solve equation?

let

  • Ken stickers = x
  • John stickers =3x

New stickers

  • Ken = x - 12
  • John = 5x

x + x - 12 = 3x + 5x

2x - 12 = 8x

-12 = 8x - 6x

-12 = -2x

x = 12/2

x = 6

So,

Ken stickers = x

= 6 stickers

John stickers = 3x

= 3 × 6

= 12 stickers
