asked • 04/26/21Lorenzo had 1/3 as many bugs as Theodore. Theodore gave 7 bugs to Lorenzo so that they would each have the same amount. How many bugs did the two friends have altogether?

Math, microeconomics or criminal justice
L =t/3
t-7 = L+7 = t/3 +7
t-t/3 = 14
2t/3 = 14
t = (3/2)14 = 21 bugs originally for Theodore
Lorenzo had 21/3 = 7 bugs originally
they have 28 total together
