Answer:

251$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say x represents Joes's account.

And y represents Chandra.

Since Joses account was 1 more than one half of chandra, the amount for Joes would be x = 1/2*y + 1

Now we can just say y = Chandra's amount.

So x + y = 751

And x = 1/2*y + 1

We have a systems of equation, and just plug in 1/2*y + 1 for x.

1/2*y + 1 + y = 751

1/2*y + y = 750 (subtract both sides by 1)

distribute y so...

y(1/2 + 1) = 750

y = 750/1.5

y = 500

Remember, y is Chandra. So plug in 500 for y in Joses equation, so 1/2(500) +

is 250 +1 so 251.
