Question

Alex, gil and meg shared 740 cards. Alex had 20 fewer cards than gil and 120 fewer cards than meg. How much cards did alex have?

Answer 1

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cards alex has be x

No of cards Gil has =x+20

No of cards Meg has =x+120

Total no of cards =740

According to the question,

x+x+20+x+120=740

3x+140 = 740

3x =740-140

3x = 600

x=600÷3

x=200

No of cards Alex has =x

=200
