A = 5 + B
A + 5 = 2B

Let's get one of the variables on one side.

A = 5 + B
A = 2B - 5

By the transitive property

5 + B = 2B - 5

Solve for B.

5 = B - 5
10 = B

Use 10 = B in an earlier equation to find A.

A = 5 + B
A = 5 + 10
A = 15

Abe has 15$ and Ben has 10$.

The sum of the square of a positive number and the square of 44 more than the number is 8080. what is the​ number?
mash [69]
Let the number be x, therefore, its square is x², and 44 more than the number is x+44 whose square is (x+4)².
Thus the sum will be x² + (x+44)²² = 8080
                                  x² + x² + 88x + 1936= 8080 Combining the right terms 
                                  2x² + 8x - 6144 = 0 dividing by 2
                                     x² + 44x - 3072 =0 solving for x
                          x = 37.6 or -81.6
Therefore, the positive number is 37.6
