Wesley and brian have a total of 87 baseball cards. wesley have 30 less than twice as many cards as brian. how many baseball cards do they each own

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no of baseball cards Brian has be x.

Brian =2x

wesley=2x-30

4x-30=87

4x=87+30

4x=117

x=29.25

Brian has 2(29.25)=58.5

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
