MAX HAS 2 TIMES AS MANY BASEBALL CARDS AS CAL. TOGETHER THEY HAVE 60 BASEBALL CARDS. HOW MANY BASEBALL CARDS DOES CAL HAVE? EXPLAIN!!
Let M = Max
Let C = Cal
M + C = 60
2C = M
2C + C = 60
3C = 60
C = 60/3
C = 20
If Cal has 20 cards, then Max has twice as many or 40 cards.
Together, 20 + 40 = 60 cards.
Cal has 20 cards.
