5d+d=18

18 divided by 6 is 3 so Sheila has 15 markers and Dave has 3

Rivas · Answer 2

Sheila has 5 times.

Dave has 1 time.

Together they have (5 + 1) = 6 times.

6 times = 18

Divide each side by 6 : 1 time = 3

Sheila has 5 times = (5 x 3) = 15 markers.

Dave has 1 time = 3 markers.

Total = (Sheila + Dave) = (15 + 3) = 18 markers.

Check, check, and double check.
