Jason has 52 toy cars. His friend Jonathan has only 24. How many cars should Jason give to Jonathan so that they have the same number of toy cars? What would that number be?

Question

please help you don't have to give the answer but please explain.

Answer 1

52-x = 24+x

2x = 52-24 = 28

x - 28/2 = 14 cars

then each will have 36
