Question

Jo had $5 more than Nate and together they had $43. How much did Nate have?

Answer 1

Answer:

$14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Joe have $x

Then Nate would have $(x-5)

They both have $(x + (x-5)  which is equal to $43

                           $(x + x -5) = $43

                           $2x - $5 = $43

                            $2x = $(43 - 5)

                           $2x = $38

Divide both sides by $2

                               x = 19 (Joe has $19)

:. Nate has $(19 - 5) = $14.
