  there r 2 girls n one girl has $.60 more then the other and together they total $8.20. so u set up an equation 2x+.60=$8.20. u first subtract 60 cent from both sides n that leave u with 2x=$7.60. now u divide both sides by 2 to get how much each girl has n x= $3.80. n finally u add 60 cents to Beth's 3.80 n that gives u $4.40 for beth n $3.80 for suzy.

  Are your sets? 7, 8, 10 2, 5, 6 3, 4, 7 ______________________________________ Let x = the money that Suzy has x + x + 0.60 = 8.20 2x + 0.60 = 8.20 2x = 7.60 x = #3.80

  This is just confusing a fifth grader. Do the easy way Jenny. 2 girls both together have $8.20. Devide 8.20 by 2. 8.20/2= 4.10 one girl has .60 more than the other. 4.10-.30=3.80 one girl has $3.80 the other has $4.40. $3.80+$4.40=$8.20
