Answer 1

William, Jan, and Greg have a total of $26. Greg has the most money. Jan has twice as much money as William. Greg has $11. How much money does Jan have?

Answer 2

William: $X
Jan: $2X
Greg: $11.

x + 2x + 11 = 26
x = ?.

Answer 3

G = 11

W = J/2

G + J + W = 26

11 + J + J/2 = 26

Solve for J.

Answer 4

x + 7.5 ?

Answer 5

nevermind it's 41?

Answer 6

How can it be 41 when the three together only have 26?

Answer 7

Im so confused now :/

Answer 8

What confuses you? Both Henry and PsyDAG showed you how to solve this problem.

Answer 9

Im confused on how to get x

Answer 10

x + 2x + 11 = 26
3x + 11 = 26

Subtract 11 from both sides.

Then divide both sides by 3.

Answer 11

im getting it now but just to make sure, would I subtract 11 from 11 and 26 or subtract 11 from 3 and 26

Answer 12

x + 2x + 11 = 26
3x + 11 = 26

3x = 15

x = 5

Answer 13

Oh well thank you, I had a feeling like the first one made more sense.

Well and Jen and Greg are going to the movies they have a total of $26 Greg has the most money Jen has twice as many dollars as Greg Greg has $11 how much money does

Answer 16

2+2

Answer 17

The answer to Jan is 10$. Because Greg has 11$ so you need to make 26$ from 11$ So what I did is 11+10+5=26 Because Jan has twice as William so Jan has 10$ half of 10$ is 5$ So that means William has 5$

Answer: 10$

Answer 18

Jan: 10 Dollars

William: 5 Dollars

Greg: 11 Dollars

Answer: Jan has 10 Dollars to spend at the movies.
