Joel has $7.50. Samuel has $3 more than he. Their father gives them $q each. How much do they have altogether

Answer 1

Let's start by finding out how much money Samuel has.

If Joel has $7.50, then Samuel has $7.50 + $3 = $10.50

Their father gives them $q each, so their total amount of money would be:

Joel: $7.50 + q
Samuel: $10.50 + q

Adding these two amounts together, we get:

$7.50 + q + $10.50 + q = $18 + 2q

Therefore, Joel and Samuel would have altogether $18 + 2q.
