Jayden and Bailey collect comic books. Bailey has 2 more than 3 times the number of comic books that Jayden has. They have a total of 50 comic books. How many comic books does Jayden have?

12

Explanation:

If you think about it, it's very easy. It's just the word problem that is hard to understand, you just have to list the number given from the question

As we'll can see 2 more than makes 2+ something, and 3 times the number of comic books that Jayden has. Well, we don't know how much he have, so we going to put X for it, so the final equation will be ->(2+3x+x)=50 then, do the calutation, you will get x=12, maybe I'm wrong, correct me if I'm wrong thank you.
