With your team use guess and check to solve the problem. What is your answer? 6 games Slide 13: Explain the steps you took to solve the problem. Slide 14: These are the steps I took: I'll guess his brother owns 8 games. That means Carl owns 11 games. That's a total of 19 games. My guess is too high. I'll guess again. This time I'll guess his brother owns 6 games. That means Prince Carl owns 9 games. That's a total of 15 games. My guess is right. His brother owns 6 games. Does it matter if your first guesses were different than mine?
