Question

Kelly has eight more dollars than Emily. If together they have 126 dollars, how much money does Emily have?

Answer 1

Let Kelly be x and Emile be y
x=y+8
x+y= 126
y+8+y =126
2y+8=126
2y=126-8
2y=118
y=118/2
y=59$
Emily has 59$

Answer 2

55

Explanation:

126 is the total divide by 2 and subtract 8 to find what Emily has to find what Kelly has divide by 2 add 8
