Kenny has 9 more comics books that Bobbie. Together they have 95 comic books. Define the variable. Then write an equation that could be used to find the number of comic books they each have.

Bobbie: x comic books

Kenny: 9 more comic books than Bobbie: x + 9

Together: 95 comic books

To write the equation that could be used to find the number of comic books they each have, we have to put it together:

x + (x + 9) = 95

x + x + 9 = 95

2 * x = 95 - 9

2 * x = 86 / 2

x = 86 / 2

x = 43

Result: Bobbie has 43 comic books, Kenny has 52 comic books (43 + 9).

X=bobbies comic books

9+x=95
