Problema Solution

John's weekly salary is $25 less than twice David's salary. The combine total of both their salaries is $1425. What are their individual salaries?

Answer provided by our tutors

We assume

John: 2x-25

David: x

The equation is

2x-25 + x = 1425

So

x = 483.33

So

John: $941.67

David: $483.33
