(b) Solve the equation to find out how much money James has​

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

let James pence be x

Liam's pence= 2less than James pence= x-2

hannah's pence = 5more than James pence= x+5

total amount = 75 pence

x+x+5+x-2= 75

3x+5-2=75

3x= 75+2-5

3x= 72

x = 72/3

x = 24

James pence= x= 24

Hannah pence = x+5 = 24+5= 29

Liam pence= x-2= 24-2= 22
