A blue bike is $14 less than a red bike. The sum of their prices is $300. How much is the red bike?

The red bike is $____. (Be sure to type only the price of the red bike. DO NOT use a dollar sign ($) in your answer.)

Answer 1

x = price for red
y = price for blue..

x + y = 300
and y = x -14

Answer 2

x + x -14 = 300
2x = 286..
x= 143

y = 300- 143 = 157..

Answer 3

x=157
