Michael has 5 more comic books than double David's collection. If together they have a total of 128 comics, use the equation from the previous question to find how many comics they each have.

Michael has 87 comic books while David has 41 comic books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number comic books that Michael has.

Let y represent the number of comic books that David has.

Michael has 5 more comic books than double David's collection. The expression would be

x = 2y + 5

If together they have a total of 128 comics, it means that

x + y = 128- - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 2y + 5 into equation 1, it becomes

2y + 5 + y = 128

3y + 5 = 128

3y = 128 - 5

3y = 123

y = 123/3

y = 41

Substituting y = 41 into x = 2y + 5, it becomes

x = 2 × 41 + 5

x = 87
