Jason and ron together have 97 baseball cards. jason has four more than twice as many cards as ron. how many baseball cards does each person have? a. jason has 31 cards and ron has 66 cards b. ron has 31 cards and jason has 66 cards c. jason has 46 cards and ron has 51 cards d. ron has 46 cards and jason has 51 cards

B. Ron has 31 cards and Jason has 66 cards

Step-by-step explanation:

R = number of cards Ron has

J = number of cards Jason has

R+J = 97

J = 2R+4

Substitute this into the first equation

R+J =97

R + 2R+4 =97

Combine like terms

3R+4 =97

Subtract 4 from each side

3R +4-4 = 97-4

3R = 93

Divide by 3

3R/3 =93/3

R = 31

Ron has 31 Cards

Now we need to find J

J = 2R+4

J = 2*31+4

  = 62+4

  = 66

Jason has 66 cards

its 4 because 2 times 2 is 4, if you double the number two you get four
