Question

You and a friend go out to dinner and each pay for your own meal. the total cost of the two meals is $25. your meal cost $4 more than your friends meal. how much does each meal cost?

Answer 1

two meals=$25
let my friends meal be $X,
so my meal is $X+5
both meals costs (X+5) +X=25
2X+5=25
2X=20
X=10
My friends meal costs $10
and my meal costs 10 + 5= $15
