Rita had 24 more barrettes than zoe. after she gave 5 barrettes to zoe, Rita had twice as many barrettes as zoe. how many barrettes did Rita had left?

Answers

The number of barrettes that Ritaleft after she gave 5 barrettes to Zoewill be 28.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

Rita had 24 more barrettes than Zoe. after she gave 5 barrettes to Zoe, Rita had twice as many barrettes as Zoe.

Let 'x' be the number of barrettes that Rita has and 'y' be the number of barrettes that Zoe has. Then the equations are given as,

x = y + 24                ....1

(x - 5) = 2(y + 5)

x - 5 = 2y + 10

x = 2y + 15              ....2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

2y + 15 = y + 24

2y - y = 24 - 15

y = 9

Then the value of 'x' is given as,

x = 9 + 24

x = 33

The number of barrettes that Rita left is given as,

⇒ 33 - 5

⇒ 28

The number of barrettes that Ritaleft will be 28.
