Bobbie: x comic books
Kenny: 9 more comic books than Bobbie: x + 9
Together: 95 comic books
To write the equation that could be used to find the number of comic books they each have, we have to put it together:
x + (x + 9) = 95
x + x + 9 = 95
2 * x = 95 - 9
2 * x = 86 /2
x = 86 / 2
x = 43
Result: Bobbie has 43 comic books, Kenny has 52 comic books (43 + 9).
