Me with this ixl answer answer this correctly leslie bought a box with both chocolate and maple donuts. there were 6 fewer maple donuts than chocolate donuts, and there were 10 donuts in all. how many chocolate donuts did leslie buy? i have to tell them the difference and the sum

Hello!

First of all, let's how many chocolate and maple donuts there were using a system of equations.

m= c-6

m+c=10

Let's plug our m value into the second equation and solve for c.

c-6+c=10

-6+2c=10

We add 6 to both sides.

2c=16

We divide both sides by 2.

c=8

This also means that there were 2 maple donuts.

Therefore, she bought 8 chocolate donuts.

Also, the sum and difference are in the problem. The sum is 10 and the difference is 6.

I hope this helps!

do you mean add both of the equations together

because if you do the answer is 10x-5
