The multiple choice section is confusing, but perhaps this will help
.
Let ,,,S = # Sam has, C = # Naomi has
.
(1) S + C = 19,,,,,,total of 19
.
(2) S = C +7,,,,,,,,,Sam has 7 more than Naomi
.
from (1) C = 19-S
.
substitute in (2)
.
S = (19-S) +7
.
2S = 26
.
S=13,,,,,Answer
.
From (1) (13) +C =19,,,,C=6,,,, Answer
.
Check in (1) 13=6+7 =13,,,,ok
.
In(2) 13 + 6 = 19,,,,,ok
