For this case we have:

x: Number of candies that Sydney has

The equation to find the amount of Sydney sweets is given by:

[tex]3x + 6 = 36[/tex]

We want to clear x:

[tex]3x = 36-63x = 30[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{30}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

So, Sydney has 10 candies

Answer:

Sydney has 10 candies
