Question

Gary has 32 hammers. Clara has some handsaws. The number of hammers is twice as many as 6 more than the number of handsaws.
How many handsaws does Clara have?

Answer 1

Let the number of handsaws Clara has be x.
According to the given information:
32 = 2(x + 6)
Solving for x:
32 = 2x + 12
20 = 2x
x = 10

Clara has 10 handsaws.
