Question 1131026
 Adayln has nine more than twice the number of skittles thsn Morgan has. If twice the number of skittles that Adalyn has is 2 more than 5 times the number of skittles that Morgan has, how many skittles does each girl have? 
-----
A = 2M+9
2A = 5M+2
--------------------------------
Substitute for A and solve for "M"::
2(2M+9) = 5M+2
4M + 18 = 5M + 2
M = 16 (Morgan has 16 skittles)
-----
A = 2M+9
A = 2*16+9
A = 41 (Adayln has 41 skittles)
