Answer 1

Answer:

Can't tell if it went through...

1. Shop A = 2x

2. Shop B = 2x - 580

3. Total = Shop A + Shop B

1949 = 2x + 2x - 580

4. Combine like terms

2x + 2x = 4x

1949 = 4x - 580

5. Add 580 to both sides (to remove -580 from right side)

1949 + 580 = 4x - 580 + 580

2529 = 4x

6. Divide both sides by 4 (to get x)

2529 / 4 = 4x / 4

632.25 = x

7. Shop A = 2x

2 * 632.25 = 1264.50

Shop A = 1264.50

8. Shop B = 2x - 580

2 * 632.25 - 580 = 684.50

Shop B = 684.50

Check: Shop A + Shop B = 1949

1264.50 + 684.50 = 1949

Shop A = 1264.50

Shop B = 684.50
