Question

John has rs 50 more than what smith has. If smith takes rs 35 from john, the money he has now is twice of what is left with john. Find how much money each had originally.

Answer 1

Smith = x

John = x + 50

With smith now =  x + 35 or  2 (x+ 50 - 35)

x + 35 = 2x + 30

x = 5

Smith = 5

John = 55
