A meal of a chicken sandwich and some pasta salad had 100 grams of carbohydrates the pasta salad had 10 grams more than twice the grams of carbohydrates in the chicken sandwich find the number of grams of carbohydrates for both.

Let the amount of carbohydrates in chicken sandwich be x

The amount of carbohydrates in salad will be 2x + 10

(x) + (2x + 10) = 100

x + 2x + 10 = 100

x + 2x = 100 - 10

3x = 90

x = 90 / 3

x = 30

Therefore chicken sandwich has 30 grams of carbohydrates.

Salad will have:

2 (x) + 10 → 2 (30) + 10 → 60 + 10 = 70

Salad has 70 grams of carbohydrates.
