Given parameters;
Let us solve this problem step by step;
Let us represent Simon's money by S
Kande's money by K
- Simon has more money than Kande
S > K
- if Simon gave Kande K20, they would have the same amount;
if Simon gives $20, his money will be S - 20 lesser;
When Kande receives $20, his money will increase to K + 20
S - 20 = K + 20 ------ (i)
- While if Kande gave Simon $22, Simon would then have twice as much as Kande;
if Kande gave Simon $22, his money will be K - 22
Simon's money, S + 22;
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ------ (ii)
Now we have set up two equations, let us solve;
S - 20 = K + 20 ---- i
S + 22 = 2(K - 22) ; S + 22 = 2K - 44 ---- ii
So, S - 20 = K + 20
S + 22 = 2K - 44
subtract both equations;
-20 - 22 = (k -2k) + 64
-42 = -k + 64
k = 106
Using equation i, let us find S;
S - 20 = K + 20
S - 20 = 106 + 20
S = 106 + 20 + 20 = 146
Therefore, Kande has $106 and Simon has $146
First we put the equation in y = mx + b form where m is ur slope and b is ur y int.
2x - 5y = 10
-5y = -2x + 10
y = 2/5x - 2.......so ur slope is 2/5 and ur y int is (0,-2) <==
to find ur x int, sub in 0 for y and solve for x
2x - 5y = 10
2x - 5(0) = 10
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5......and ur x int is (5,0) <==
another way to find the y int is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y...but u might as well solve it by putting it in y = mx + b form because that way u have ur slope as well.
Only numbers possible would be five and zero
