Question

Tom and bob have a total of 49 toys. If Bob has 5 more toys than Tom. How many toys does each one have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tom's toys = 22 toys

Bob's toys = 27 toys

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom's toys + Bob's toys = 49 toys

Tom's toys = x

Bob's toys = x + 5

According to the problem ,

x + x + 5 = 49

2x + 5= 49

2x = 49 - 5

2x = 44

x = 44/2

x = 22

Tom's toys = x = 22 toys

Bob's toys = x+5 = (22+5) = 27 toys
