Question 1090740

Theo has $5 more than Denise and Denise had $11 more than rudy. Together they have $45. How much money does Denise have?
<pre>Correct answer: {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,3, Denise, "has:", "$17"))}}}
IGNORE anyone who says otherwise!

The CORRECT setup is:     Let amount that Denise has be D
                          Then Theo has D + 5
                          Rudy has: D - 11
                          We then get the following equation: D + D + 5 + D - 11 = 45
                          Solve this to get D: the amount Denise has.
