Question 547532
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.
