Answer 2

luke hav 5 more dolleres than sam, together they hav 73

Answer 3

how much luke have ?

Answer 4

let x = sam's money

so luke has 5 + x

together they have 73 so

5 + x + x = 73

combine like terms

5 + 2x = 73

subtract 5 from both sides

2x = 68

divide both sides by 2

x = 34

so sam has $34 and luke has $39

got it?
