Cory has 24 more than twice as much as Stan together they have 150 How much money does each have?
Just work backwards.
3x+24=150 where Stan has x and Cory has 2x
150-24=126
Then Cory has twice as much as Stan, so there are three 'units' total. This is where 3x comes from.
126/3=42=x
Stan has x=42
Cory has 2x=84
Hope this helped
