We use algebraic equations in our daily lives without knowing it. For example, when we go shopping, calculate grocery expenses, or even fill our gas tanks, we are using equations. Let's say we needed to fill our gas tank, but we only had $15.00 to do so. If the price of gas is $3.00 per gallon, how many gallons could we buy? We use the simply algebraic equation of 
to calculate the total gallons that can be bought. x = the money we have. y = price per gallon of gas. 
= 5. So with $15.00, we can buy 5 gallons of gas; and that is just one example of using an algebraic equation in everyday life!
She deposited two amounts, let's say "a" and "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest
the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a
now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190
so.. one can say that (2% of a) + (2.5% of b) = 1190
let' us use the decimal notation then
solve for "a" to find what the "a" amount is,
to find "b", well, "b" is "2a", so just do a 2*a to get "b"
"a" earning 2% interest
"b" earning 2.5% interest
the 2.5% one, is twice as much as the 2% one
so.. one can say that, whatever "a" is, "b" is twice as much,
or b = 2*a -> b = 2a
now.. .the sum of both earned interest, was $1190
