Respuesta :

Answer: Alexis has 5 bags of Legos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each bag contains 8 Legos, the total number of Legos in

y bags is 8y.

After her sibling gives her 9 additional Legos, Alexis has a total of 49 Legos.

So, we can write the equation:

8y + 9 = 49

Now, let's solve for y:

8y = 49 − 9

8y = 40

= 40/8

y = 5
