Question

PLEASE, WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!! I need the equation and step by step. Carl collected 3 more bags of bottles for recycling than Ralph did. They collected a total of 35 bags of bottles for recycling. How many bags did Ralph collect? The domain of the solution is {0, 2, 13, 16}.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ralph collected 16 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 35 bags between two of them, split it into half. Now each have 17.5 bags

Then, add or minus bags until one side is 3 more than the other.

x+y=35      {x=3+y or x-y=3}       17.5x=17.5y      19x=16y
