Sharon has 72 beads. she has twice as many sphere beads as cylinder beads. How many of each kind of bead does Sharon have? How did you solve the problem? How can you check your answer?
Place it into an equation: x + 2x = 72 Simplify: 3x = 72 Divide both sides by 3: 3x / 3 = 72/3 Simplify: x = 24. 24 x 2 = 48. There are 24 Cylinder beads and 48 Sphere beads.
