Question 1002030
.
If Jim gives $30 to George,both of them have will have the same amount of money. 
If George gives $50 to Jim, Jim will have 5 times as much as George. How much money do both of them have altogether?
----------------------------------------------------------------

<pre>
J - 30 = G + 30.       (1)
5(G - 50) = J + 50.    (2)

Solve this system.

J - G = 30 + 30 = 60,  (3)
5G - 250 = J + 50.     (4)

 J -  G = 60,          (5)
-J + 5G = 300.         (6)

Add (5) and (6). You will get

4G = 360   ----->   G = {{{360/4}}} = 90.   ----->   J = 150.


<U>Answer</U>. J + G = 150 + 90 = 240.
