Cory has 24 more than twice as much as Stan together they have 150 How much money does each have?

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
