Answer:
Maddox has 18 video games
Bridger has 24 video games
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the number of video games Maddox has
y------> the number of video games Bridger has
we know that
[tex]x+y=42[/tex] -----> equation A
[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}y[/tex] -----> equation B
substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
[tex](\frac{3}{4}y)+y=42[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{4}y=42[/tex]
[tex]y=42*4/7=24[/tex]
Find the value of x
[tex]x=\frac{3}{4}(24)=18[/tex]
therefore
Maddox has 18 video games
Bridger has 24 video games
