Benny has 32 more pencils than ash they both have 84 in together. how many pencils does ash have? how many pencils does benny have?

Ash has 26 pencils, and Benny has 58 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are solving for the number of pencils Ash has, he will be our "x."

Ash = x.

Benny = x + 32

Together = 84

If we add the two boys' pencils together and use the total, we get this equation;

84 = (x) + (x + 32)

Subtract 32 from both sides and add every "x" together to get;

52 = 2x

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get the final answer;

x = 26

In other words, Ash has 26  pencils, and Benny has 58 pencils.

Hope this helps!
