Bob has $24 more than twice as much as Susie,
Together they have $150.
using the equations created in

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, first start setting up the equation.

Start with bob first - this is the easiest. Let x = bob

To get the part for susie - he has $24 more than twice the amount of bob, so his part of the equation would be set up as: 2x + 24

Combine these parts:

x + (2x + 24)

Combined they have $150, so you would set the equation above equal to 150

x + (2x + 24) = 150

Combine like terms:

3x + 24 = 150

Solve the equation for x

3x   +   24   =   150

      -   24         -24

3x               =   126      isolate x by itself on one side of the equation

divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

3x    =    126

3              3

x    =   42

Now that you have solved for x, you know the amount that bob has... $42

With this information you can substitute 42 for x in the equation that was created for susie

2x + 24   would now by (2*42) + 24  which is $108

So, the amount that bob has is $42 and susie has $108

You can double check your work by adding $42 and $108 together to see if you get $150 (which you do)

Hope this helps!!!
