Your younger sibling has saved x dollars. You have saved $50 less than the amount your younger sibling has saved. You saved a total of $150.
A) write an algebraic solution that describes the solution above.

B) describe in words how you would solve this equation

C) who saved more money? Explain
younger sibling -------------$x
you save -------$x-50
Total saved by both of you
x+x-50=150
2x-50=150
2x=150+50
2x=200
/2
x=100 sibling saved 100 dollars
Sibling saved $100 . Total saved is $150
so I saved $50
Sibling saved $50 more than me.
