\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Gary and Henry have $2700. if Gary gives $350 to Henry, Henry will have 5 times as much money as Gary. How much does Gary have before the transfer?
\n" ); document.write( "Let Gary have $N before the transfer. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thank you!\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since Gary had $N before transfer, then Henry had $(2,700 – N)
\n" ); document.write( "After Gary gives Henry $350, Gary will have N – 350, and Henry will have 2,700 – N + 350, or 3,050 – N
\n" ); document.write( "Since after the transfer, Henry will have 5 times as much money as Gary, then 3,050 – N = 5(N – 350) ------ 3,050 – N = 5N – 1,750
\n" ); document.write( "- N – 5N = - 1,750 – 3,050
\n" ); document.write( "– 6N = - 4,800\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "N, or original amount Gary had before the transfer = \"%28-+4800%29%2F-+6\", or $\"highlight_green%28800%29\"\r
