Since they have 39 dolls between them, that gives them x-39=x.
Emily has 7 dolls less then Holly, so that give the equation 7-39=x
This is the equation because when you solve the equation...
-subtract 7 dolls fewer from 39 dolls total)
...you get 32=x.
Really hope this helps:), can you do me a favor and mark me as the brainiest?
