* I know twice as many jokes as my friend does. Together we know 60 different jokes. My friend and I both know the same three jokes. How many jokes do I know?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer would be 40 jokes

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, it might seem there are 37 but if you do 2x+x=60 x=20 and you would know 40 jokes and they didn't ask how many jokes only you know so I am guessing it is 40 sorry if I am wrong.

The number of jokes I know if I know twice as many jokes as my friend does is; 42 jokes.

According to the question;

We are required to determine how many jokes I know.

Together we know 60 different jokes.

However, we both know the same 3 jokes.

Ultimately, the sum total of jokes known by my friend and I is;

= 60 + 3 = 63.

Since, I know twice as many jokes as my friend does;

  • 2x + x = 63

  • x = 63/3

  • x = 21

Ultimately, the number of jokes I know is; 2 × 21 = 42 jokes.
