The price of one brand of athletic shoes is $5 more than another brand.
------------------
If the prices of the two pairs of shoes add to $230, how much does each pair cost?
------------------
Translate this problem into algebraic equations.
Cost of 1st pair of shoes:: x
Cost of 2nd pair of shoes:: x+5
----
Equation:
x + x+5 = 230
2x = 225
x = $112.5 (1st pair cost)
x+5 = $117.5 (2nd pair cost)
