Answers
Bosnian
H = Harry's part
N = Nicky's part
Nicky takes $58 more than Harry means:
N = H + 58
Harry and Nicky share $120 means:
H + N = 120
Replace N with H + 58 in this equation.
H + H + 58 = 120
2 H + 58 =120
Subtract 58 to both sided
2 H = 72
H = 72 / 2 = 36
N = H + 58 = 36 + 58 = 94
Harry have $36
Nick have $94
