Answer:
Dora has 11 ribbons
Step-by-step explanation:
let's say Dora has D ribbons.
let's say Lily has L ribbons
using what's given, you can make the following equation:
D - 4 = L
add 4 to both sides of the equation
D - 4 + 4 = L + 4
D = L + 4
now substitute L for 7. (given)
D = L + 4
D = 7 + 4
D = 11
Let the number of ribbons with Dora be x .
Number of ribbons with Lily = x - 4
Number of ribbons with Lily = 7
This can be written in an equation as :-
[tex]\hookrightarrow\color{purple}x - 4 = 7[/tex]
[tex]x = 7 + 4[/tex]
[tex]\color{orange}x = 11[/tex]
Which means Dora had 11 ribbons as ( x = number of ribbons with Dora ) .
Therefore , Dora has 11 ribbons .
