Question

The school has 2 times as many basketballs as they did kickballs. Altogether, there are 18 basketballs and kickballs. How many more basketballs does the school have?

Answer 1

Answer:

The school has 12 basketballs.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to set up an equation:

2x + x = 18

x is the number of kickballs

3x = 18

18/3 = 6

x = 6

2x = 12

There are 12 basketballs.
