Question

Teresa and Nancy make 135 pins for a fund-raising proj
Teresa makes 37 more pins than Nancy.
How many pins does Teresa make?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x = the number of pins that Nancy made

Let x + 37 = the number of pins that Teresa made

x + x + 37 = 135

2x + 37 = 135 Subtract 37 from both sides.

2x = 98 Divide both sides by 2.

x = 49 pins made by Nancy

x + 37 = 49 + 37 = 86 pins made by Teresa

Answer 2

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of pins= 135

Let number of pins made by Nancy be 'x'.

Number of pins Teresa makes= x+ 37

Therefore,

x+x+37=135

2x=98

x=49

Number of pins Teresa made= x+37

=49 + 37

=86
