Let the money spent by John = y
and Amy=x
ATQ
x+y = $29
It is given that jon spend 5 more than Amy. SO he spend
x +5
x+y = $29
x+x+5=$29
2x = 29-5
2x= 24
x = 24/2 =12
So Amy spend $ 12 and Jon spend x+5 = 12+5 = $17
Answer:
Klorina's rate in still water is 4.5 km/h
Current's rate is 0.5 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x km/h = Klorina's rate in still water
y km/h = current's rate
<u>With the current (current helps):</u>
Distance = 10 km
Time = 2 hours
Rate = x + y km/h

<u>Against the current:</u>
Distance = 8 km
Time = 2 hours
Rate = x - y km/h

Divide both equations by 2:

Add these equations:

Subtract these two equations:

$50
$15 + $35 (5 weeks) = $50
$35 + $15 (5 weeks) = $50
