Hi!

If this doesn't make sense, basically what it's saying is that they are sharing $91, and for every 1 dollar Jayden gets, Aiden gets 6 dollars.

We can set the amount that Jayden gets equal to 'n', and the amount that Aiden gets as '6n', since he gets 6 times the number that Jayden receives.

We can set up the equation:

n + 6n = 91

add like terms

7n = 91

divide 91 by 7 to isolate n

n = 13

This means that Jayden receives 13 dollars, as "n" is equal to the amount Jayden receives.
