Jenny, Ali and Eric have a total of $97 in their wallets. Ali has $5 more than Jenny . Eric has 2 times what Jenny has. How much does each have?

Respuesta :

so make them all x

Jenny = x
Ali = x+5
Eric - 2x

2x + x + 5 + x = 97
4x = 97 - 5
x = 23

Jenny has 23
]Ali has 28
Eric has 46

j + a + e = 97
a = j + 5
e = 2j

j + j + 5 + 2j = 97
4j + 5 = 97
4j = 97 - 5
4j = 92
j = 92/4
j = 23 <=== what Jenny has

a = j + 5
a = 23 + 5
a = 28 <=== what Ali has

e = 2j
e = 2(23)
e = 46 <=== what Eric has
