Luke sold 4 times as many books as Maurice. If Maurice had sold 18 more books, he would have tied Luke for first place. How many books did Luke sell?

Respuesta :

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

I guessed and checked but 24 -18 is 6 and 6 times 4 is 24

M + 18 = 4M

18 = 4M - M

18 = 3M

M = 18/3 = 6

4M = 4(6) = 24 sold by Luke
