Ian has 20 football cards, and Jason has 44 baseball cards. They agree to trade such that jason gives Ian 2 baseball cards for every card Ian gives to Jason. After how many such trades will Ian
and Jason each have an equal number of cards?

The number of trades will Ian  and Jason each have an equal number of cards is 12 trades

Let's us assume the x' be the number of trades they will do.

20 + x = 44 - x

2x = 24

x = 12 trades

12 trades

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call 'x' the number of trades they will do.

After each trade, the number of cards Ian has increase by 1 (he gives 1 but receives 2), and the number of cards Jason has decrease by 1 (he receives 1 but gives 2), so after x trades, the number of cards Ian has is 20 + x, and Jason has 44 - x.

To find the number of trades when they will have the same amount of cards, we have that:

20 + x = 44 - x

2x = 24

x = 12 trades

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
