Answer:

Mary drew 66 buildings and Tess drew 33 buildings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label the number of buildings drawn by Mary as x and the number of buildings drawn by Tess as y.

We know there are 99 buildings drawn. This means

99=x+y

We also know that Mary drew twice as many buildings as Tess. We can represent this as

x=2y

Now, let's substitute x for 2y, since that would put us in common terms

99=2y+y

Add common variables together and you get

99=3y

Solve for y by dividing 99 by 3

y=33

We now know that Tess drew 33 buildings, as well as y=33. Substitute y in the equation for how many buildings Mary drew:

x=2(33)

Now we know that Mary drew 66 buildings.

To check our work,

99=x+y

99=66+33

99=99
