s a m a r i a has six more than three times as many pieces of candy is s y d n e y s a m a r i a has 36 pieces of candy how many does Sydney have

Answer 1

To find out how many candies Sydney has, we need to use the information given that Maria has six more than three times as many candies as Sydney.

Let's use S to represent the number of candies Sydney has.
According to the provided information, we can set up the following equation:
3S + 6 = 36

Now let's solve for S:
Subtract 6 from both sides: 3S = 30
Divide both sides by 3: S = 10

So Sydney has 10 pieces of candy.
