Question 399712: I typed my email address wrong on my last question.
4th grade grandson has a question on his homework. Something like this--Joe had 7 more pencils than Jack, and they had 29 in all. How many did each boy have? I said 11 + 18 but I don't know how to tell him how to find the answer. Can you give me steps or an equation to show how to find the answer? Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! ?+?+7=29
2*?=22
divide 22 by 2
?=11
?+7=18
I used question makes for the unknown amounts
almost like setting up an algebra problem.
