Bryan has a collection of baseball cards which he shares equally with his brother, Jude. Bryan also received two cards from his friend, Gene. If Bryan has 8 baseball
cards now, how many cards did he originally have in his collection?
Please help I need to show my work as well

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If he shares it equally with his brother, that is 12÷2=6

Then he receives 2, so 2+6=8

this linear equation would have just one solution.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason why this would have one solution is that it is an expression with just one variable. since that variable is not raised to a power, it will always have just one solution.
