Let's say Ed ate X pieces of candy.
Then Joe ate 2X pieces of candy.
Together they ate X + 2X = 48 pieces of candy.
This simplifies to 3X = 48
Dividing by 3 on both sides, we get X = 16.
Therefore, Ed ate 16 pieces of candy.
Then Joe ate 2X pieces of candy.
Together they ate X + 2X = 48 pieces of candy.
This simplifies to 3X = 48
Dividing by 3 on both sides, we get X = 16.
Therefore, Ed ate 16 pieces of candy.
