Park two has 12 more benches than Park one. If 2 benches were transferred from Park two to Park one, then Park two would have 2 times more benches than Park one. How many benches were originally there in Park two?

Respuesta :

Answer: 18 benches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let park 1 has the benches = x

Then according to the question, Park two has 12 more benches than Park one.

Therefore, park 2 has benches = x + 12

Again according to the question, If 2 benches were transferred from Park two to Park one, then Park two would have 2 times more benches than Park one.

Therefore,   2 ( x + 2 )=x + 12 - 2

⇒2 x + 4 = x + 10

⇒x = 6

Thus, the bench in park 2= 6+12=18

Therefore, In park 2 there are 18 benches.
