Theo has $5 more than Denise and Denise had $11 more than rudy. Together they have $45. How much money does Denise have?
Correct answer: 

IGNORE anyone who says otherwise!



The CORRECT setup is:     Let amount that Denise has be D

                          Then Theo has D + 5

                          Rudy has: D - 11

                          We then get the following equation: D + D + 5 + D - 11 = 45

                          Solve this to get D: the amount Denise has.
