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
