Question

Jake and Finn both worked hard over the summer. Together they earned a total of $400. Finn earned $25 more than Jake.
(a) Graph the equations in the system.
(b) Use your graph to estimate how much each person earned. How much did each person earn?

Answer 1

Answer:

F = 212.5  

J = 187.5

My way is weird but i divided each side by 2 and subtracted 25 from jake and added 25 to finn. Then distributed 25 for each.

ex: 175 + 12.5 = 187.5.

225 - 12.5 = 212.5.

Add them both and you get 400.

weird
