You can put this solution on YOUR website! jamie gave laura $3 more than laura already had.now laura has $19
how much did jamie give her?
------------------------------------
Let laura start with "L"
Let Jamie start with "J"
---------------------------------------
After laura gave $3 more that laura had,
laura then had L+L+3
---
Equation: L+L+3 = 19
2L = 16
L = 8
------------------
Jamie gave laura L+3 = $11
=====================================
