coca-cola was recently named the most valuable global brand. it has a recognition value worth $43 billion more than Disney's. if the total value of these two global brands is $101 billion, find the value of each of the brands.
-------------
coca-cola value:: x billion
Disney value::::: (x-43)billion
--------------------
Equation:
x + x-43 = 101 billion
---
2x = 143 billion
---
x = 71.5 billion (coca-cola value)
x-43 = 28.5 billion (Disney value)
