Answer:

  • Ben: 13
  • Gwen: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given relations give rise to two equations:

  b = g + 5

  b + g = 21

Using the first to substitute for b in the second, we have ...

  (g +5) +g = 21

  2g = 16 . . . . . . . subtract 5

  g = 8 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  b = 8 +5 = 13

Ben got 13 presents; Gwen got 8.
