Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In the question we are given that Marcus has twice pens as Bryan and together they have 36 pens
And we have asked that how many pens does each boy have .
Solution : -
We are assuming that ,
- Marcus have 2x pens ( Because in question it is given that Marcus has twice as pen as Bryan )
According to question ,
We know that their combined shm is equal to 36 . So :
[tex] \longmapsto \: \mathfrak{ 2x + x = 36}[/tex]
Step 1 : Adding 2x and x :
[tex]\longmapsto \: \mathfrak{ 3x = 36}[/tex]
Step 2 : Dividing by 3 on both sides :
[tex]\longmapsto \: \mathfrak{ \frac{ \cancel{3}x}{ \cancel{3}} = \cancel{ \frac{36}{3} }}[/tex]
On further calculations, we get :
[tex]\longmapsto \: \blue{ \boxed{\frak{ x = 12}}}[/tex]
As we know that ,
- x ( No. of pens Bryan have ) = 12 pens
- 2x ( No. of pens Marcus have ) = 2 × 12 = 24 pens
