Answer:
Laura spent $14 at the book fair.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount spent by Laura at the book fair.
It is given that Eva spent 5 more dollars than Laura.
Amount spent by Eva at the book fair = x+5
Eva and laura spent a total of 33 dollars at a book fair.
[tex]x+(x+5)=33[/tex]
[tex]2x+5=33[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides.
[tex]2x=33-5[/tex]
[tex]2x=28[/tex]
Divide both sides by 2.
[tex]x=\dfrac{28}{2}[/tex]
[tex]x=14[/tex]
Therefore, Laura spent $14 at the book fair.
