Answer:

Linda gets 33 candies

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call Linda's number of sweets x and make an equation for the total number of candies:

70 = 4+ x + x

Then simplify it:

70 = 4 + 2x

We then solve for x ( which is the number of candies Linda gets ):

70 - 4 = 4 + 2x  - 4

66 = 2x

66 ÷ 2 = 2x ÷ 2

33 candies = x ( amount Linda gets )
