Question 604072: carmen had $130 more than her sister, Rosa. rosa had twice as much money as their youngest sister, Zoe. If their mother gave carmen $60 and rosa $80, Carmen would have twice as much money as rosa. what was the total amount of money they had in the beginning?
I keep getting a negative number.
zoe =x
rosa=2x
carmen= 2x+130
SO....
2(2x+80)=2x+30+60
4x+160=2x+90
4x-2x+160=2x-2x+90
2x+160=90
2x+160-160=90-160
2x=-70
x=-35
what did I do wrong???
