Together, Tom and Max have 72 baseball cards. Tom has 2 more than times as many as Max has. How many baseball cards does Tom have?

The other answer is incorrect. You should first divide 72 by 3, because Max has one share, and Tom has two. 72:3 is 24, which is how many Max has. Two times 24 is 48, and so Tom has 48. Your final answer is 48.

The answer will be 144 because if u had 72 * 2 u would get 11
