The answer is 15and not the others
Answer:
<h2>
John has $15 and Alex has $33</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
a systems of equations can be made from the information on the problem
x+y=48
x=2y+3
since x= 2y+3 substitute 2y+3 in the firat equation to get:
(2y+3)+y=48 -> 3y+3=48 -> 3y=45 -> y=15
plug in 15 for y in the second equation to solve for x
x+15 =48 --> x=33
is already in simplest form because 23 is a prime number, which means that it is only divisible by 1 and itself (23). Hope this helps! :)
