| After |
2 u + 49 |
9 u + 8 |
If Roshel received another $6 in the end, she would have the same amount of money as Raeann.
9 u + 8 + 6 = 2 u + 49
9 u + 14 = 2 u + 49
9 u - 2 u = 49 - 14
7 u = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Amount that the girls had in the end
= 2 u + 49 + 9 u + 8
= 2 u + 9 u + 49 + 8
= 11 u + 57
= 11 x 5 + 57
= $112
Answer(s): $112
