4 answers

can't happen. How could she have less than twice as much if she had $6 more?

Check the problem.
I solved the problem like that:
Sara: 2x
Miguel: x

2x+6 =4/3x

18/3 =4/3 -6/3x

6 = -2/3x
x = - 9

so Miguel = -9

Sara = -18

Is it correct?
you know anybody with a negative age?
If you solved the equation your answer would be x(Miguel)=-9 and Sara=-18. There is no solution because you can't have a negative amount of money.
