Question

Truth has $3 more than twice as much money as Schyler.if truth has $10 how much does Schyler have

Answer 1

T = 2S + 3
T = 10

10 = 2S + 3
10 - 3 = 2S
7 = 2S
7/2 = S
3.50 = S <===

Answer 2

Let, the amount of money Schyler has be $x.

Given, Truth has $3 more than twice as much money as Schyler.

So Truth has the amount of money = $
`(2x+3)`

Given Truth has $10 amount of money.

We can write it as an equation. The equation will be,

`2x+3 = 10`

To find x, first we have to move 3 to the right side. 3 is added there. To move it we will use reverse operation of addition. Reverse operation of addition is subtraction. So we will subtract 3 from both sides first.

`2x+3-3 = 10-3`

`2x = 10-3`

`2x = 7`

Now to find x , we will move 2 to the other side by using division. We will get,

`(2x)/(2) = (7)/(2)`

`x = (7)/(2)`

`x = 3.5`

We have got the required answer.

The amount of money Schyler has $3.5.
