(b) Graph the equations in the system.
(c) Use your graph to estimate how much each person earned. (You must solve by graphing, other solving methods will not earn credit)

Answer 1

2x-15=65

Explanation:

You have to subtract 15 dollars from 65 because it is extra money that Griffin had earned. Now you are left with 40 so now you would divided 2 since its both Griffin and Andrew. At the end, Griffin earned 35 dollars and Andrew earned 20 dollars.
