Chandra will have 55 baseball cards

Step-by-step explanation:

Total baseball cards = 152

Let

Chandra's collection = p

Chandra has 42 baseball cards less than Simon so Simon will have 42 cards more:

Simon's Collection = p+42

We need to find Chandra's collection.

Total baseball cards will be 152 so, the equation will be:

[tex]p+(p-42)=152[/tex]

Solving and finding value of p (Chandra's card)

[tex]p+p-42=152\\2p=152+42\\2p=110\\p=110/2\\p=55[/tex]

So, Chandra will have 55 baseball cards.

Answer:

Let Chandra's collection contain x baseball cards and Simon's collection contain (x+42) baseball cards

According to the above problem, we get the equation

[tex]x + (x + 42) = 152 \\ 2x + 42 = 152 \\ 2x = 152 - 42 \\ 2x = 110 \\ x = \frac{110}{2} \\ \boxed{x = 55}[/tex]

Hence, Chandra have 55 baseball cards.

55 is the right answer.
