Let \(m\) be Matthew's money and \(t\) be Tony's money.

Let's Algebra!
"matthew has 10 more than twice dollars than tony"\[
m = 2t + 10
\]"together they have 47 dollars" \[
m+t=47\]

Answer 2

We can substitute the first equation into the second one: \[
(2t+10) + t = 47
\]Now you can solve for \(t\).
