Let's set up an equation to represent the given information. Since Will has two less than three times as many video games as Josh, we can write this as 3x - 2. We are also given that Will has 20 video games, so we can set up the equation: 3x - 2 = 20.
Now, let's solve the equation for x to find the number of video games Josh has:
3x - 2 = 20
3x = 20 + 2
3x = 22
x = 22/3
Therefore, Josh has 7 video games.
Will had two less than three times as many video games as Josh.
If Will has 20, how many does Josh have?
