Two brothers, counting their money, found that together they had $186, and that John had five times as much as Charles. How much had each?

Question

 I need this done ASAP!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

j = John's money

c = Charles' money

 

j = 5c         equation 1

j+c = 186   equation 2

 

replace j with 5c in equation 2,

then solve for c.

 

multiply that answer by 5 to determine

how much money John had.
