Answer:

2n + 4

n = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Initial :

Dai has four more cards than twice the number that Maura has.

Maura's initial card = n

Dai's initial card = 2n + 4

B.)

If Dai must give Maura 8 cards, so they have equal amount

Dai's initial card - 8 = Maura's initial card + 8

2n + 4 - 8 = n + 8

2n - 4 = n + 8

2n - n = 8 + 4

n = 12
