Austin, Kevin and Lisa have a total of $159. Austin has $11 more than Kevin. Lisa has twice as much money as
Keyin. How much money does Lisa have?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A+K+L=159

A-K=11

2K=L

Plug in 2K instead of L in the equation: A+K+L=159

A+3K=159

Plug in K+11 instead of A in the equation: A+3K=159

4K+11=159

4K=148

Kevin=$37

Pluge in 37 instead of K in the equation: A-K=11

A-37=11

Austin=$48

Plug in 48 instead of A and 37 instead of K in the equation: A+K+L=159

48+37+L=159

L=74
