Question

Two brothers are saving money to buy tickets to a concert. Their combined savings is $55. One brother had $15 more than the other. How much has each saved?

Answer 1

20 and 35 dollars.

Explanation:

x + x + 15 = 55

2x + 15 = 55

2x = 55 - 15

2x = 40

x = 40/2

x = 20

One of the brothers has saved 20 dollars, while the other has 35 dollars.
