A bottle of wine costs $10. If the wine is worth $9 more than the bottle, what is the value of the bottle?
-------------------------------
Let the value of the bottle be "x" dollars.
Then the wine is worth "x+9" dollars
---
Equation:
cost of bottle + cost of wine = 10 dollars
x + x+9 = 10
2x = 1
x = 1/2 dollar (cost of the bottle)
---
x + 9 = 9 1/2 dollars (cost of the wine)
