H represent amount Hanna earned

H + 600 represents amount Beatrice earned


H + H + 600 = 2000


Can you solve for H and answer?

Imagine a rectangle and draw it lengthwise across your page. The entire rectangle represents $2000. Draw a vertical line within the rectangle about a third of the distance from the left end. Then do the same from the right end. You should then have a portion in the middle of the rectangle representing the additional $600 the one girl earned. Each end represents the amount that both girls earned equally.
