Lexi made 14 sandwiches for a group picnic. The number of ham sandwiches she made was 4 less than the twice the number of turkey sandwiches she made.

Respuesta :

x = # of ham sandwiches

14-x = # of turkey sandwiches ( as Lexi made 14 sandwiches)


as the question said that the number of ha sandwiches are 4 less than twice number of turkey sandwiches,

x = 2 * (14-x) - 4 = 24 - 2x

3x=24

x = 8


the number of ham sandwiches is 8, and the number of turkey sandwiches is 14-8=6
