Respuesta :
Maria has 19 hats.
b=beth
m=maria
Equations: 2b+5=m
b+m=26
plug in 2b+5 for m in equation 2: b+2b+5=26
add like terms: 3b+5=26
subtract 5 from both sides: 3b=21
Divide 3 from both sides: b=7
now plug in 7 for b: 7+m=26
subtract 7 from both sides: m=19
m=Maria
therefore Maria has 19 hats
b=beth
m=maria
Equations: 2b+5=m
b+m=26
plug in 2b+5 for m in equation 2: b+2b+5=26
add like terms: 3b+5=26
subtract 5 from both sides: 3b=21
Divide 3 from both sides: b=7
now plug in 7 for b: 7+m=26
subtract 7 from both sides: m=19
m=Maria
therefore Maria has 19 hats
Maria has 19 hats.
Calculation of number of hats:
Here we assume
b=beth
m=maria
Now the equation should be
2b+5=m
b+m=26
here we put m equation
So,
b + 2b + 5 = 26
3b = 21
b = 7
So, the hats should be = 26 - 7 = 19
