Patel has 5 less than 4 times as many trophies as Horatio. He has 19 trophies in all. How many trophies does Horatio have?

Respuesta :

h = number of trophies Horatio has

4h = four times as many as h

4h-5 = five less than the previous amount

4h-5 = 19

4h-5+5 = 19+5

4h = 24

4h/4 = 24/4

h = 6 is the final answer
