Carmen and Linda share 70 candies. If Carmen gets four more candies than Linda gets, how many candies does Linda get?

linda will get 35 candies

Linda gets 33 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Linda's number of sweets x and make an equation for the total number of candies:

70 = 4+ x + x

Then simplify it:

70 = 4 + 2x

We then solve for x ( which is the number of candies Linda gets ):

70 - 4 = 4 + 2x  - 4

66 = 2x

66 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2

33 candies = x ( amount Linda gets )
