Johnny tripled his baseball card collection. Then he added 6 more cards to the collection. Now he has 24 cards. How many cards did he start with?

9514 1404 393

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backward.

If he has 24 after adding 6, he had 18 before that addition.

If he had 18 after tripling his collection, he had 18/3 = 6 cards to start with.

Note that this is the same process you would use if you started with an equation.

  3c +6 = 24 . . . . where c is the number of cards Johnny started with

  3c = 24 -6 = 18 . . . . . subtract 6 from the final number

  c = 18/3 = 6 . . . . . . . . divide the tripled value by 3 to see the original value

Johnny started with 6 cards.

step-by-step explanation:

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer
