Answer 1

Answer:

let Ben has x chocolate

Sam has 7 more than two times the chocolates Ben has.

So, Sam has 2x+7 chocolates

Sam has 47 chocolates

so,

2x+7=47

2x=47-7

2x=40

x=40/2

x=20

Ben has 20 chocolates.

Answer 2

Question -:

Sam has 7 more chocolates than two times the chocolates Ben has. If Sam has 47 chocolates, how many chocolates does Ben have?

$\huge\orange{\underline{\overline{\tt\: Answer}}\mid}$

Given -:

Sam has 47 chocolates.

He has 7 chocolates more than two times Ben's chocolates.

To find -:

The number of chocolates Ben has.

Explanation -:

Let the number of chocolates Ben has be x.

Two times his chocolates = 2x.

Sam has 7 chocolates more than two times his chocolates. Thus, the expression is -:

2x + 7.

Since Sam has 47 chocolates, therefore the equation is -:

2x + 7 = 47.

Now,

$2x + 7 = 47$

$2x = 47 - 7$

$2x = 40$

$x = \frac{40}{2}$

$x = 20.$

Thus, Ben has 20 chocolates.
