Carla and Andrew have 29 puppies. Andrew has 8 more than twice Carla How many puppies does person have?

Andrew has 22 puppies, Carla has 7 puppies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up an equation.

Carla and Andrew have 29 puppies.

C + A = 29

Andrew has 8 more than twice Carla.

A = 2C + 8

Let's use substitution by plugging A into C + A = 29.

A = 2C + 8 & C + A = 29

C + (2C + 8) = 29

Now, let's combine like terms.

3C + 8 = 29

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3C = 21

Divide both sides by 3.

C = 7

Carla has 7 puppies. Plug in this value back into C + A to find how many puppies Andrew has.

C + A = 29

7 + A = 29

A = 22

Andrew has 22 puppies.

Let's check our work. Plug in Andrew and Carla's number of puppies back into our original equations.

C + A = 29

7 + 22 = 29

29 = 29

Correct!

A = 2C + 8

22 = 2(7) + 8

22 = 14 + 8

22 = 22

Your answer is correct!

Hope this helps!
