Question 494655: I beg somebody to please help me with this problem.
Not only do I need to write the answer but also I have to explain HOW I ARRIVE TO THAT RESULT.
So, please, it would be very helpful if I could give me the equation needed to solve it, the result, and the explanation.
I am sorry for asking like too much, but I really need it and I thank you all in advance.
Tom and John share some grapes. The expressions g and 29 - g represent how many grapes each they ate.
How many grapes did they share? EXPLAIN.

According to what I can see. The maximum amount that they could have shared is 29. That is why in one of them will eat "g" and the other one "29-g".
