Answer 1

Brittney has twice as much money as Sun. Together, they have $60. Let x represent the amount of money Sun has.

What expression represents the amount of money Brittney has?

✔ 2x

What expression represents the amount of money that Brittney and Sun have together?

✔ 2x + x

What is the equation described in this problem?

✔ 2x + x = 60

Explanation:

Answer 2

Sun's money = x

Brittney's money = 2x

x + 2x = $60

3x = $60

3x/3 = 60/3

x = 20

So amount that Brittney has is 2x.

The amount they have together is 3x

The equation that describes the problem is 3x = $60
