Stamp Collection Problem

Easy Heart Of Algebra Systems Of Linear Equations And Inequalities

Two friends, Alex and Jordan, are collecting stamps. Alex has twice as many stamps as Jordan. If the total number of stamps they have together is 30,

how many stamps does each friend have?

Let $x$ represent the number of stamps Jordan has. Then we can express the number of stamps Alex has as $2x$. The equation representing the total number of stamps can be written as:

$$x + 2x = 30$$

Jordan has 10 stamps and Alex has 20 stamps.

Jordan has 15 stamps and Alex has 30 stamps.

Jordan has 20 stamps and Alex has 10 stamps.

Jordan has 5 stamps and Alex has 25 stamps.
