Answer:
pam has x = 7 pennies
sam has 2x + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15 pennies
Step-by-step explanation:
let's take the number of pennies that pam owns be x
sam's pennies = 2× ( pam's pennies ) + 1
=》2x + 1
if the total pennies owned by both = 22
then,
x + 2x +1 = 22
3x = 22 - 1
x = 21 ÷ 3
x = 7
so, pam has x = 7 pennies
sam has 2x + 1 = 14 + 1 = 15 pennies
