Answer:
the answer will be $54.66
The minimum amount Jorge will have in savings for them to have $163 together is $110.34
2x + 1
x - 2
Jeorge + Ellen = 163
2x + 1 + x - 2 = 163
2x + x + 1 - 2 = 163
3x - 1 = 163
3x = 163 + 1
3x = 164
x = 164 / 3
x = 54.67
Check:
j = 2x + 1
= 2(54.67) + 1
= 109.34 + 1
= $110.34
So,
j + x - 2 = 163
110.34 + 54.67 - 2 = 163
165.01 - 2 = 163.01
Approximately,
163
Therefore, the minimum amount Jorge will have in savings for them to have $163 together is $110.34
