    The equation we'll use for this is:Total Gifts = Veronica's Gifts (v) + Natalie's Gifts (n).

    12 = v + n

    The problem says Veronica got 3 times as many gifts as Natalie.

    You can directly translate this into an equation!

    v = 3 * n = 3n. This means we can replace any v with 3n.

    So, 12 = v + n = 3n + n = 4n

    12 = 4n

    3 = n. Natalie got 3 gifts.

    We can now plug back in for Veronica's gifts:

    v = 3n

    v = 3 (3)

    v = 9. Veronica got 9 gifts.
