Question

Richard and Jordan went to see a movie. Richard spent m dollars at the movie theater, and Jordan spent $12 at the movie theater. Together they spent a total of $26. Write an equation to describe this situation.

Answer 1

since we don't know how much Richard spent at the movies let m be the amount of money at the movies. we know that Jordan spent 12$. all together they spent 26$ so the equation is m+12=26

Answer 2

M + 12 = 26

M would equal 14
