Question 798211: Hello. I had a math test at shcool and there was a question I'm not very sure of.
Could you please help me with this question?:"Pinky and Perky were Mrs Purr's two favourite cats. Every night she would feed them 56 cat biscuits, making sure Pinky recieved twelve more biscuits than Perky.How many biscuits did each cat get?"
All I think I know is maybe the problem formula goes like this ( 12x + x = 56 )
Thanks

=======================
Perky got x
Pinky got x+12
Don't multiply them, add them
-----
x + x+12 = 56
Can you do the rest?
