Answer:

Alva has 7 trucks in each box.

Explanation:

You need to determine the total number of toys Watson has. Watson has 4 (7+2) = 4(9) = 36 toys.

  • Set 36 equal to an expression for the number of toys Alva has. Using t for the number of trucks, 36 = 2 (11+t).

Then, solve the equation.

  • 36 = 2(11+t) 36 = 22 + 2t 14 = 2t7 = t

So how many trucks are in each of Alva's boxes?

  • 7 Trucks!
