Email hoard

Kendrick received 24 fewer e-mails on Friday than he did on Thursday. If he received a total of 126 e-mails on those two days, how many did he get each day?

Correct answer:

a =  76
b =  50

Step-by-step explanation:


a+b = 126
b = a-26

a+b = 126
a-b = 26

Row 2 - Row 1 → Row 2
a+b = 126
-2b = -100


b = -100/-2 = 50
a = 126-b = 126-50 = 76

a = 76
b = 50
