A.
18
B.
–4
C.
20
D.
9

Answer 1

First, set up an equation - s (sean) and k (kyle)
k + s = 26

s = k+8

since we found the value of S, we can now substitute it in.

k + k + 8 = 26
2k+8 = 26.

Now, subtract 8 from both sides.

2k = 16 (26-8 = 16)

Now, divide 16 by 2.

16/2 = 8.

Kyle has 8 dollars, and Sean has 16.

Answer 2

so would it be a, b, c. or d?
