How much does each person have? Form and use equations to find your answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
First equation is

    A - 20 = C + 20.      (1)


Second equation is

    A + 22 = 2*(C-22).    (2)


To solve, subtract equation (1) from equation (2).  You will get

    22 + 20 = C - 44 - 20,

or

    22 + 20 + 44 + 20 = C

    C = 106.


Thus, Carla has 106 dollars;  Angela has A = C + 20 + 20 = 146 dollars.    <U>ANSWER</U>
