You can put this solution on YOUR website! Julio has 5 more dollars than Dan. Altogether, Julio and Dan have 19 dollars. How much money does each young man have?
6. Let d represent the amount of money, in dollars, that Dan has.
Use d to write an expression that represents the amount of money that Julio has.
Julio's amt = j
j = d + 5
:
7. Write an equation to represent the problem situation.
j + d = 19
replace j with (d+5)
(d + 5) + d = 19
2d + 5 = 19
2d = 19 - 5
2d = 14
d = 14/2
d = $7 amt that Dan has
then
7 + 5 = $12, amt Julio has
