Will give ! i need the equation and step by step. carl collected 3 more bags of bottles for recycling than ralph did. they collected a total of 35 bags of bottles for recycling. how many bags did ralph collect? the domain of the solution is {0, 2, 13, 16}.

Ralph collected 16 bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 35 bags between two of them, split it into half. Now each have 17.5 bags

Then, add or minus bags until one side is 3 more than the other.

x+y=35      {x=3+y or x-y=3}       17.5x=17.5y      19x=16y

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

5050

hope this !
