Question

Haley has 4 more dollars than Alicia. If Haley and Alicia have 22 dollars altogether how much money does each of them have?

Answer 1

Answer:

Alicia has 9 dollars and Haley has 13 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Alicia's money be $x$. Hence, Haley's money will be$x+4$

Together: $x+x+4=2x+4$.

Therefore, $2x+4=22$

Subtract 4 from both sides:

$2x=18$

Thus, $x=9$. Alicia has 9 dollars.

Haley's amount: $x+4=9+4=13$.

Answer 2

Answer

Haley has 13 while Alicia has 9

Step-by-step explanation:

together they have 22 dollars together but haley has 4 more dollars than Alicia. IF We minus 4 from the entire equation, then they would have 9 each and if we add back Haleys amount Haley would be 9+4 which is 11
