Let Brian’s wallet has - 5x money
Let Colin’s wallet has - x money
After spending Brian has 3 less than Colin
5x - 27 = x + 3
4x = 30
X = 7.5 £
Brian has - 5*7.5 = 37.5 £
Colin has - 7.5£
Let Colin’s wallet has - x money
After spending Brian has 3 less than Colin
5x - 27 = x + 3
4x = 30
X = 7.5 £
Brian has - 5*7.5 = 37.5 £
Colin has - 7.5£
