Question

Tom and Jerry each has some money. if Tom spends $90/day and Jerry

Answer 1

Answer:

$400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be Tom's initial money amount and J be Jerry's initial money amount.

$T - \ 90*n_1 = \ 1100\\J - \ 45*n_1 = 0\\\\T - \ 45*n_2 = \ 1700\\J - \ 90*n_2 = 0$

Solving this linear system:

$T-2J =\ 1100\\2T-J = \ 3400\\3J=\ 3,400-\ 2,200\\J=\ 400$

Jerry initially had $400.
