last year, lein earned $1,400 more than her husband. togethr they earned $47,00. how much did each of them earn ?
x + (x + 1,400) = 47,000
2x + 1,400 = 47,000
Can you take the problem from here and solve it?
do i subtrat the numbers?
2x + 1,400 - 1,400 = 47,000 - 1,400
2x = 45,600
x = 45,600/2
x = 22,800 = husband's salary
