Lou owes Rick $62. This is half the cost of a stereo they bought less $5 that Rick owed Lou. How much did the stereo cost?
So the stereo cost = $62 x 2 + $5?
No. Your answer for the stereo cost (X) is $129.
62 = X/2 -5
x/2 = 67
X = 134
So the stereo cost = $62 x 2 + $5?
62 = X/2 -5
x/2 = 67
X = 134
