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

Haley has 13 while Alicia has 9

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

Answer 2

Alicia has 9 dollars and Haley has 13 dollars.

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`.
